Description from store
The "Excerpt with Link" extension copies selected text and the associated webpage link (URL) to the clipboard. This provides a quick and simple way to cite website text.
Select desired text, then open the context menu and select "Excerpt with Link" from the menu. You can normally open the context menu by right-clicking.

- (2025-06-23) Katriel Friedman: Dream product for me as a professional researcher who uses a lot of gray literature on the web. And the developer was very responsive over email.
- (2023-12-08) dirk poll: Very useful! The current implementation can't accurately locate the selected text, only the web page. Edge has a "copy link to highlight" option, which may be upgraded. Thank you.
