Plain Links Tools

English | 日本語

Obsidian plugin to convert Markdown links in the current note to plain text or URLs. Also makes bare email addresses render as plain text (not clickable mailto links) in both Reading View and Live Preview.

Features

  • Convert links to display text — replace [text](url) with text and [[target]] / [[target|alias]] with the display name
  • Convert links to URLs — replace [text](url) with url and [[target|alias]] with target
  • Bare email to plain text — toggle to render user@example.com as plain text instead of a clickable mailto link
    • Works in both Reading View and Live Preview / Source Mode
    • Normal click suppressed; Ctrl/Cmd+click still opens the mailto link
    • Explicit [text](mailto:...) links are preserved

All commands are available via the command palette and the ribbon icon menu.
