Description

The Hyperlink Removal plugin simplifies cleaning up markdown files by removing hyperlinks from selected text or entire notes. It adds context menu options for quick access and supports command palette actions that can be assigned to hotkeys. Advanced logic ensures robust handling of various link formats and edge cases, making it useful for users who frequently migrate or clean imported content.

Advanced Features

Hyperlink Type Filtering

You can choose which types of hyperlinks to remove:

Both Internal and External : Removes all hyperlinks
Internal Links Only: Only removes internal links like [Page](page.md), [Section](#heading)
External Links Only: Only removes external links like [Site](https://example.com)

Hyperlink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific domains or URLs that should never be removed.

Note: Whitelist matching is case-insensitive and uses partial matching.

Wikilink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific wikilink paths that should never be removed.

Note: Wikilink whitelist uses exact matching (case-insensitive). The entire wikilink path must match the whitelist entry.

Blacklist Mode

Blacklist mode is the opposite of whitelist mode - it only removes links that match your specified blacklist, leaving all other links intact. This is useful when you want to remove specific unwanted links while preserving everything else.

You can specify seperate lists for both hyperlink and wikilink blacklist

Note: Use the "Remove blacklisted links" commands to activate blacklist mode. This is the only place this option is available
