Per-site link formatting

[yorkxin]

Problem

Personally I use this extension a lot for aggregating pull requests.

When copying with GitHub issues, we get string like this:

* [Web extension by chitsaou · Pull Request #48 · chitsaou/copy-as-markdown](https://github.com/chitsaou/copy-as-markdown/pull/48)

result is:

• Web extension by chitsaou · Pull Request #48 · chitsaou/copy-as-markdown

For GitHub, instead of links, we can also copy title only -- GitHub will handle link referencing automatically:

* Web extension by chitsaou · Pull Request #48 · chitsaou/copy-as-markdown

becomes

• Web extension by chitsaou · Pull Request Web extension #48 · chitsaou/copy-as-markdown

But the string itself can be reformatted to make it look better:

* #48 Web extension by @chitsaou 

becomes

• Web extension #48 Web extension by @chitsaou

Idea

Add a setting to let user customize title style per domain.

Make it per site because usually the title are same under the same domain.

For example:

/(.+) by ([\S]+) · Pull Request (#\d+) · (.+)

replaces to

$3 $1 by @$2 ($4)

Furthermore, it should be able to be imported, so users can "install a plugin" for common sites.

Some of the features discussed here look like features provided by https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-copy/ (which became obsolete with Firefox 57). This information may provide help/insight/inspiration to evolve copy-as-markdown?

For example:

@sgourichon Thanks for your input. I also read your comment in #12 (comment) . You proved a hypothesis in my mind: there must already be an app doing the thing I was thinking about :)

Although Easy Copy provides extensive support to many use cases, I prefer not to make the UI too complex -- keep it as simple as possible, yet powerful to most users.

That's okay, you are the master of your project. In the meantime I've discovered asamuzaK/url2clipboard: Copy document URL / link URL to clipboard as HTML, Markdown, BBCode, Text, etc. which has similar features.

If the user can customize the output of copy-as-markdown. I think we are as org user, can benefit from this feature and changes the output to match org format.

Interesting thoughts... I might consider changing the extension name to make it sounds more powerful 💪

Is it still active? I would be happy to use such a nice tooling in my daily routine
