+1 @telephon for what i think is a feature request:

To formulate otherwise: a new feature could be added: when you highlight a text like this:

 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/4X/1/5/e/15ed5a6ee3cab934588b5c715d5c2671c64cd056.png)

The purpose would be to add to the existing `quote` and `share` options (sorry, in french in the exemple…): a third option such as: `create`:

This option would:

- create a topic whose name is, in this exemple: “open a new tab”,
- and automatically create a hyperlik on the current highlighted text.

These possibilities are really uselfull indeed, and commonly used in 2nd brain softwares like Obsidian or Roam Research.
