Feature request - short "Insert Quote" link

DEVONthink

When reading a pdf file in DEVONthink and using an annotation document there is the option to insert selected text from the pdf - right icon below.

This gives a link including the start position, its length and the text selected. I find this long form distracting when reading the document in the “Source View”.

What I would like is a shorter form of the link - like

[Page 8](x-devonthink-item://52CB4AFB-1197-45EC-8212-BDCDF59F2159?page=7)

It would be great if this could be added as either a new option (additional icon) or a general setting.

Thanks for consideration.

You do realize this will only yield a page link, don’t you? With the current implementation, a selection link jumps directly to the selected text.

Yes, I am aware of that. But that is enough for me, as I highlight the quote anyhow.
