Groenendijk's Link Text and Location Copier

Well, damn.

I installed William Groenendijk's "Link Text and Location Copier" plug-in to my install of Firefox, and liked it plenty. Wondering if it could be expanded a little, I looked it back up on the FF extensions directory to find a way of reaching out to the developer, and on clicking the developer name discovered:

The creator of this add-on has sadly passed away. No further updates will be made. Please feel free to keep using this add-on as is. Thank you.
I looked at this homepage, evilnickname.org, and I guess he died not long after Feb 2019, which is when he stopped updating his blog. Happily, that lead me to his github repository: evilnickname / link-text-location-copier . Bless you, evilnickname, for githubbing your code! I guess if I want those features, I can try to make them myself. I don't know the first thing about coding FF extentions, but I guess that could go on the great to-do list.
