Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how URL pasting is handled for Quarto documents and how the markdown.editor.pasteUrlAsFormattedLink.enabled setting is exposed. Done means enabling that setting produces a formatted link when a URL is pasted into a Quarto document.

Description

vscode

Visual Studio Code supports pasting URLs as formatted links in Markdown documents, which I think is a really nice feature. Basically, here's how it works out of the box:

The relevant setting is called markdown.editor.pasteUrlAsFormattedLink.enabled. It would be great if this setting could also be used with Quarto documents.
