Description

Hello,

would it be possible to yank a link that's in an omnium bar. Often, I'm composing a text — say in a comment of a Jira card — and would like to include a URL from bookmarks or history without having to go to history or bookmarks. Omnium contains all the links but I can't yank them.

Thanks for everything!

Research direction

Start with the Omnium bar entry point and the existing yank or copy behavior for links from bookmarks and history. Determine how a link can be selected while composing text, then verify that the selected URL is placed on the clipboard without leaving the Omnium bar.
