Copy Link Name

Copies the name of a link (anchor text) to the clipboard.

Copy Link Name is a handy Chrome extension that allows you to effortlessly copy the visible text of any link on a webpage—also known as the link's anchor text. With a simple right-click on a link, you can select "Copy Link Name" from the context menu to instantly copy the link text to your clipboard.

This extension simplifies copying link names without navigating or highlighting manually. Please note that it does not work on the Chrome Extensions site due to Chrome's content script restrictions. If you encounter any issues, you can report them via the Reviews tab. Perfect for web developers, content creators, and anyone needing quick access to link text.

Works great. A bit scary because it ask me permission to read all site data. Would be awesome if you can open source it so I can confirm nothing malicious is done.

Nice addon! Can you add a function to copy the text that is displayed when the mouse hovers over an element? For example, the title attribute of the h tag and img tag
