Comment:

 31571.patch is looking good. Only thinking we should look at what exactly
 is selected and check that the selection is not inside a link already.

 It is possible to select several paragraphs and turn them into a link, not
 sure we want that whit this method. Also, we (probably) want to support
 that when an image is selected, need to exclude placeholder images, etc.
