copy link to marker

This action copies the link to a marker of your choice for wiki style linking in markdown drafts.

When you run the action it’ll ask you if you want to copy the link of the current section (the cursor is in that section), the next section, or if you want to select from any other marker in the current draft

After selecting an option the Action copies the link to the marker into the clipboard so you can use it inside the current draft or paste it to any other draft.

(the links will be escaped as described in the docs
