Great! Could this auto-select the link, just as the permalink feature can?

I’m refocusing our invite process around this feature.

Rather than telling people to expect an email, I’m including it in an email to them. Brilliant!

Looking at the text in the dialog box.. it’s all useful, not just the URL.

Would it be easy enough to allow me to copy the text inside & outside the well in the same fell swoop?

> [Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/invites/33d7674ff5b511d69e51c5a54ae)  
> Invite link is only valid for this email address: [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com)

I’ll understand if it’s just too ugly… to select both lines, or if there’s no desire to print the URL in plain text next to the invite text.

This isn’t something I feel super strongly about.. but it’d help keep things sorted as I copy/paste invites.

GoToMeeting does it this way too. On the screen it says:

and when you hit copy to clipboard it provides fuller instructions to email/chat to invitees:

> 1. Please join my meeting.  
> [GoTo](https://global.gotomeeting.com/join/148869597)

> 1. Use your microphone and speakers (VoIP) - a headset is recommended. Or, call in using your telephone.

> Dial +1 (571) 317-3122  
> Access Code: 148-869-597  
> Audio PIN: Shown after joining the meeting

> Meeting ID: 148-869-597
