Feature Requests (1) Submenu Support (2) Customize Aliases (3) Custom Block IDs

[Bamajon1974]

Good afternoon. I have three feature requests, if you are still developing this plugin

1. Move right-click entries into one submenu to prevent overflow in main context menu. I have sources that show how to use submenus I can share if you like.
2. Customize aliases. Presently, when you assign a block link with selection as caption, the plugin captures the entire selection. It would be helpful to add options to use the entire selection as an alias, restrict to first x number of characters (a slider to select), or a parent heading. That way, the alias is much shorter if desired.
3. Custom Block IDs. Option to use custom Block IDs if possible rather than a random array of numbers and/or letters.

Thank you for the great extension!

Yes, please share.

Block Link Plus implements these exact features, I suggest giving it a try. No plans to add this currently, maybe at some point.

Custom Block IDs. Option to use custom Block IDs if possible rather than a random array of numbers and/or letters.

How would that work? How would the pattern be defined?

You can always create custom block IDs manually, and the plugin will respect them (rather than override) when copying links.

1. Done and done.

2. I remember trying Block Links Plus and it was fairly buggy. Some of the multi-block copy functions didn't work. I was looking for an alternative. I can re-visit and, if no joy, just deal with it.

3. Got it. I am not a coder so I don't fully understand the details. Manually editing the block link ID works for me.
