I know firefox has the very useful “Copy clean Link” option in the context menu, but I would like a similar feature for copying links from any other software, like spotify for example. So I am looking for some software that hooks into the clipboard pipeline, and cleans any URL that gets added. I tried googling for something like it, but was completely unsuccessful. Does anyone have a clue how I might go about achieving this?

Thanks in advance :)

Edit: I found out about klipper’s actions, which provide the option to run a command when a string that matches a regex is added to the clipboard buffer. I am not sure how to properly use this though, so any help is appreciated!

    Hmm. Thanks, though I’m seeking universal /offline so if I get URLs in other platforms, I won’t have to turn to the browser to purge them of junk. Or maybe this could be converted into a standalone program…
