Auto-fill URL portion of links in the Markdown editor
Describe the feature you'd like
When editing in the Markdown editor, it is possible to select some text and press Ctrl+K to turn that into a Markdown link. The feature I want to propose is automatically filling in the URL portion when the selected text was a URL or domain.
Example
The user types See google.com for details. They select google.com and press Ctrl+K.
Current behavior
The text is converted to See [google.com]() for details with the cursor placed inside the new parentheses.
Proposed behavior
The text would be converted to See [google.com](google.com) for details. The entire text inside the parentheses would be selected. This way, if they do not want the pre-filled URL, they can type as they normally would and it would not change the resulting behavior.
Exact implementation may vary. It may be decided that this behavior only occurs when a scheme is added (e.g. https://), because it's easier to detect.
Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users
It would bring a very small QoL improvement when writing pages using the Markdown editor.
Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
No. It would require adding functionality to the Markdown editor.
