Keep in mind, we are going to elevate this to a proper feature in Discourse in the “special actions on words” section, but it will take a bit.

I love that this is a component though cause we get to “test out components” in anger. @Osama / @j.jaffeux one huge omission we have here is that it is ultra mega super painful working with long lists in settings, try this out with 50 or so links to experience the pain. We need a different “list” control for managing long lists of things.
