Copy Link

Add commands to quickly copy links to files, headings and blocks.

Features

File Commands

Available in the file context menu (right-click on files):

• Copy note link as footnote - Copies the note link wrapped in an inline footnote: ^[[[link]]]
• Copy note embed - Copies an embed link to the note: ![[link]]

Block Commands

Available in the editor context menu (right-click in editor):

• Copy block link - Automatically adds or finds a block ID and copies a link to it: [[note#^blockid]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple links on separate lines)
• Copy block embed - Same as block link but prefixed with ! for embedding: ![[note#^blockid]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple embeds on separate lines)
• Copy block link as footnote - Same as block link but wrapped in footnote syntax: ^[[[note#^blockid]]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple footnotes on separate lines)
• Copy anchor link - Copies just the block anchor without the file path: [[#^blockid]], works with multi-block selections (creates multiple anchors on separate lines)
• Copy block URL - Creates an obsidian://open URL for the block: obsidian://open?vault=...&file=...%23%5Eblockid, works with multi-block selections (creates multiple URLs on separate lines)
• Copy block link with selection as caption - Creates a block link using the selected text as the caption: [[note#^blockid|selected text]]
