With URL in clipboard, compose Postbox email with URL title in subject line, URL in body

Here is a method that is much simpler to create a Markdown link from a selected hyperlink, which should be much, much faster than having to retrieve the entire web page HTML source:

It uses this script, provided by @ComplexPoint in this post:

(function (oNode) {

  var oLink = document.evaluate(
    "./ancestor-or-self::a",
    oNode,
    null, 0, 0
  ).iterateNext();

  return oLink ? 
    "[" + oLink.text + "](" + oLink.href + ")" :
    "";

})(window.getSelection().anchorNode);
