When clicking a link, why not follow browser behavior?
There's probably an obvious answer to this that I'm missing and I'll feel dumb when I find out what it is, but...
In my browser, when I click a link with no modifiers, the browser immediately follows the link and displays the target page. In Noteplan, when I click a link with no modifiers, I get a dialog asking me to choose whether to follow the link or copy its URL. Why?
In the browser, if I want to copy the URL, I can control-click or right click. I don't understand why the same behavior wouldn't work as well for Noteplan, and it would be far more efficient. When I'm clicking a link, 95% of the time, I want to follow it. Only rarely do I need to copy the target of a link.
So my implicit feature request is for Noteplan to treat unmodified link clicking like a browser does and just follow the link. If the click is modified by the control button, copy the link or bring up a menu of other possibilities.
I hope this isn't a duplicate request. I looked through the current requests related to "link" and "click" and was surprised that none of them seemed to mention this issue.

This behavior only happens when you are in editing mode on iOS, means when the keyboard is opened. There, we are using the context menu, so that you can edit the link. If you close the keyboard, you have the same behavior as in the browser. Otherwise, you would not be able to change the link after pasting.
