A plugin for Obsidian that automatically formats pasted links with metadata, with explicit support for YouTube.

Features

• Automatically formats pasted links
• Supports custom formatting for both YouTube and regular links
• Blacklist domains to prevent automatic formatting
• Toggle auto-linking on/off

Formatting

Variables are replaced dynamically by the plugin. The first instance of square brackets [] will be a hyperlink for the clipboard content.

For non-YouTube links, the following variables are available:

• {title} - Page title
• {url} - The URL of the page

Example format: [{title}]

YouTube Link Formatting

When pasting a YouTube link, the following variables are available for formatting:

• {title} - Video title
• {channel} - Channel name
• {uploader} - Uploader name (which can sometimes differ from channel)
• {duration} - Length of the video
• {views} - Number of views
• {upload_date} - When the video was uploaded
• {description} - Video description
• {url} - The URL of the video
• {timestamp} - For timestamped links (formats as @HH:MM:SS or @MM:SS)

Example format: [{title}] by {channel}

Roadmap

• Conditional formatting
• Expanded services
• General robustness
