Copy/open list of URLs

[0xdevalias]

Sometimes it's useful to be able to copy a list of URLs in the current window (for using elsewhere), or open a list of URLs as tabs.

Currently I use a few extensions for this, with varying differing features, including:

• OpenList: Chrome Store
  • https://github.com/cdzombak/OpenList

    • Chrome extension to open a list of URLs or search terms in new tabs

    • This repository has been archived by the owner on Jan 3, 2024

  • https://github.com/gordonjhaag/OpenListV3

    • Chrome extension to open a list of URLs or search terms in new tabs on Manifest V3

    • This is a Manifest V3 fork of the original, after the original was removed from the Chrome store + repo archived
• Tab Copy: Chrome Store

As per my ponderings in #6 (RE: implement new features vs tighter integration with other extensions), this is left open as a future potential pondering.

OpenList has a very minimal UI:

Sometimes this was good, sometimes I wish it could have done a few more things. Off the top of my head:

• Only show urls for selected tabs, tabs to left/right, etc
• Copy URLs: normal, as markdown list, as markdown list with titles, etc
• Ability to copy list of URLs pre-formatted as a markdown list/similar
  • Both as a 'raw' list of URLs, as well as a list of URLs + their tab titles

    • URL1
      URL2
      URL3

    • - URL1
      - URL2
      - URL3

    • - URL1
        - > URL1's Title
      - URL2
        - > URL2's Title
      - URL3
        - > URL3's Title

    • etc
• Ability to show which URLs were in tab groups/etc (and maybe copy them in that format as well?)
  • Relies on: Support for Chrome's Tab Groups #10

  • # Tab Group Title
    
    - URL1
    - URL2
    - URL3

  • - Tab Group Title
      - URL1
      - URL2
      - URL3

  • - Tab Group Title
      - URL1
        - > URL1's Title
      - URL2
        - > URL2's Title
      - URL3
        - > URL3's Title
