This could be my use case as well. Ideally, when clipping to a new topic, it would use the featured link, I make heavy use of this (ignore the custom layout):
I’d also be happy if clipping would import the currently selected text on the page, I’m not sure if this is possible.
I’d imagine this: I’m on a page with an interesting text. I select the text, I clip to a new topic, and it:
- Put the page link as a featured link
- Set the title as the clipped page title
- Set the selected HTML content as the post body
Edit: for the first two steps, david’s excellent solution works very well. It requires me to manually post the topic, but for my use I think it’s ok
