This method works, but only if none of the columns in the table have "require that this field contain data" selected. If any columns require data, there will be a warning when the new row is created and you will be unable to paste the information across the row.

jaynefrancesjtpk "Add new item" link is not available in normal list view. It is visible in Grid view (quick edit view) only.
You can switch to grid view using Edit in grid view option at the top of list:
