Description

It would be nice, if a link or multiple links could be edited after they have been copied.

For example:

Copy the following link:

https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/10.5.4/tor-browser-linux64-10.5.4_en-US.tar.xz

Modify the link (and open it in a new tab):

https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/10.5.4

There might also be the need to cut down the link even further like so:

https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser

So a simple rule to cut from the last slash character to the end might not be enough.


Might be related to #3212 and #3668

Research direction

Start by reviewing the current copied-link behavior and the related issues #3212 and #3668. The feature should support editing one or multiple copied links, opening a modified link in a new tab, and shortening paths in ways that cover the examples given; the exact interaction still needs to be defined.
