Insert link: adding a link should auto-detect selected URLs #3513

Description

@nylen

Scenario

  • Paste or type a URL into a Paragraph block
  • Click the Link button in the toolbar

Expected behavior

The link dialog detects that I have selected a URL in my post content and pre-fills the URL field with the selected text. (Or, better yet, the URL is automatically recognized and turned into a link.)

Actual behavior

The URL field in the link dialog is left blank. If I have used my clipboard for anything else since then, I have to perform several extra operations to fill in the URL.
