COMMENT

// Description This shortcut helps you pick a shortcut, or shortcuts, and create links to run them from anywhere. Copies the link(s) to the clipboard to be pasted anywhere that accepts text. When it’s run, you’re given the option to copy the links as just plain URLs, in Markdown format, as Rich Text, or as a bookmarklet. The bookmarklet can be saved as a web browser bookmark and then when clicked, it will pass the current webpage’s URL as input to the shortcut. If you’re already editing the shortcut in question, simply select its title and share it to this shortcut to generate its URL on the spot.
