Copy a link as a link
7 Comments Published December 28th, 2006 21:27 Tags: Extensions, Firefox, MozillaVia Firefox Extension Guru I found this cool Firefox plugin: CoLT.
Now I can right click a link and have it copied to my clipboard as an HTML link. Sweet Jesus, how I've missed this feature!
However… it would be nice, if the extension had a "copy as HTML link with target="_blank"" feature :-)

You can have it do the 'target="_blank" by using one of the custom formats. Form the Addons Manager select CoLT then select options. Click over to 'Custom Formats' and replace one of the three custom formats (I would recommend keeping BBCode).
Hi there ffextensionguru!
Thank you, you truly are a…well, guru :-)
The custom format could/would look like this:
Menu Label: HTML blank target
Format: < a href = "%U" target = "_blank"> %T< /a > (without the spaces, of course)
Again, thanx!

sort of try this (hopefully this will display as I want it to):
<a href="%U" target="_blank">%T</a>
