Announcing a new way to paste URLs, Link format!
JaredB81 One more thing. I think you should reconsider the terms "Link" and "Plain text" to distinguish between these two options. What Edge now calls "Plain text" is called Link elsewhere all over Edge. Some, such as Copy image link, have been updated to work with this feature which makes it confusing because the UI uses the term link even when what will be copied is what the setting calls plain text and explicitly not what the feature calls link. Other usage has long been inconsistent in Anaheim. What IE, and I suspect Spartan which I no longer have, called Save target as..., Anaheim uses Save link as which beyond the missing ellipsis, doesn't save a link.
In regard to an earlier discussion, the clipboard format "Titled Hyperlink Format" is a duplicate of the HTML clipboard format. The Link Preview Format is JSON with the title, URL, and some overhead. What this latter does not contain are the OG properties, specifically image and description, that are shared via the share charm.
My suggestion is to use a term like "Rich Links" so that you can use the generic term "Link" for all cases. If you were to expose the format used via the share charm which includes a preview image and description, I would suggest "Preview Links". The clipboard format name "Titled Hyperlink Format" suggests the name "Titled Links" which is OK though I don't like it as much but it is less ambiguous by far than "Rich Links".
