Feature Request: Wayback Machine URL Conversion
Description
Add functionality to convert HTTP(S) links to Wayback Machine URLs when they aren't already wayback links.
Use Case
This feature would help preserve link integrity by automatically archiving web references, ensuring that external URLs remain accessible even if the original sources become unavailable.
Proposed Behavior
- Detect HTTP(S) URLs in markdown files
- Check if they are already wayback machine URLs (web.archive.org)
- Convert non-wayback URLs to wayback machine format
- Preserve existing wayback URLs unchanged
Example
Before: https://example.com/article
After: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://example.com/article
Additional Context
This feature was requested as part of the Meta-Cognitive Workflow Architecture framework implementation, where preserving external references is important for long-term documentation integrity.
