Description
Currently there exist features for copying a link URL (LinkHints.activateModeToCopyLinkUrl) OR text (LinkHints.activateMode action=copy-text), but AFAIK no alternative to copy both URL and text in a common format as e.g. a Markdown link (i.e. an output like [Link text Here](https://link-url-here.org)).
Would this feature be doable and welcome? Any thoughts or concerns before implementing it?

Research direction
Start by reading LinkHints.activateModeToCopyLinkUrl and the LinkHints action=copy-text path to understand how link URLs and text are obtained and copied. Check nearby tests or command documentation if present. Done means adding a Markdown-link copy action that combines the link text and URL in the requested format.
