# Link Extractor — Obsidian Plugin

Scan any note for external links and copy them as a list — great for building bibliographies, reference lists, or sharing resources.

## Features

- Extracts all external (`http`/`https`) links from the active note
- Detects markdown links `[text](url)`, bare URLs, and angle-bracket links `<url>`
- Deduplicates automatically
- Four output formats:
  - **Plain URLs** — one per line
  - **Bullet List** — `- https://...`
  - **Numbered List** — `1. https://...`
  - **Markdown Links** — `- [url](url)`
- One-click **Copy to Clipboard**

## Usage

1. Open any note
2. Open the Command Palette (`Ctrl+P` / `Cmd+P`)
3. Run **"Extract External Links from Note"**
4. Choose your format and click **Copy to Clipboard**
5. Paste into another note, a bibliography generator, a spreadsheet — wherever you need it
