[Feature Request] Add the ability to drag and drop the nodes name and embedded hyperlink to an external app

Open espanafly opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Please add the ability to drag and drop a node's name and embedded hyperlink along with the nodes children's names and hyperlinks from the tree to another app. Your extension lets you left-click and drag and drop a node out of the tree into an external document editor like notepad, Word or OneNote, etc. However, only the nodes name gets transferred and not the node's hyperlink. Also, when you drag and drop a parent node it doesn't bring along the children.

Thanks for making this potential replacement for Tabs Outliner!

Hi @espanafly, Thanks for your feedback! I didn't even realized it. I will optimize this drag'n drop behavior after supporting Tab Group. and for now, please use "Context-menu(right-click drop down menu) - Copy - Copy Subtree as Link" as a temporary alternative.

Hi @GarinZ, Thank you for looking into how to include my request into the Link-Map app. If it proves to be too much work to create the requested drag-and-drop node feature, I have a solution that only adds one extra step.

Use Link Map to paste a node into an external app

Capture the node using the provided Copy - "Copy Subtree as MarkDown" Paste this into a markdown editor Copy the contents from the markdown editor's preview panel into the external app like OneNote LinkMapContext
