Transform text to Markdown links by pasting

See original GitHub issue

I did a brief searching and didn’t find this request, so here I am.

Many text editors supports transforming text to Markdown links by pasting, for example, if I select GitHub and paste https://github.com, it becomes [GitHub](https://github.com).

This can already achieved by pressing <kbd>ctrl</kbd>/<kbd>cmd</kbd> + <kbd>k</kbd> then pasting, but it can be a nice addition to one-key-formatting (or its own feature).
