[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

In enriched mode, could Emacs handle links from webpage like in LibreOffice?, i.e. copy and paste
links from webpage into Emacs.

I don't know what this means.
Does M-x goto-address-mode do what you want?

I mean in a webpage, a link will be underlined and blue and say something like GNU website, however the link will be http://www.gnu.org. Say you copy such a piece of text from a webpage, you can paste in into LibreOffice Writer (or Microsoft Word) and the text will be GNU website and link will be http://www.gnu.org. Org-mode supports links like this using [[GNU website][http://www.gnu.org]] syntax, I would like it to be like this, and transparent to the user.

- Enda

This can be supported by copying the HTML-link from the web page.
(There are plugin for different browsers to that.)

There is support for this in org-mode in nXhtml. It would be good if
that could be generalized a little bit and moved into Emacs.
