The Information Systems Extension for the projectdoc Toolbox allows to render a link with the HTML title as label via autoconvert of the pasted URL.
Link Text
One advantage is that the extension will fetch the page and render the title (HTML title or DC.title - if present) of the referenced document as label to the link.

Add-on to extend the projectdoc Toolbox to integrate remote information systems. |  |
Configuration
You need to specify the remote information systems you want to enable autoconvert as space properties.
For this example we assume that autoconvert should be enabled for Wikipedia.
To add a remote server add the url-wikipedia-en space property.
This introduces the information system wikipedia-en (without the url- prefix) and specifies the root URL to the information system (which may or may not be a link by itself).
Not every URL you specify should be considered for autoconverting. Therefore you need to inform projectdoc that this new URL is actually to be a base URL for autoconverting by the use of the space property
Autoconvert Hint
.
Multiple values are separated by comma. Note that you specify the system ID wikipedia-en you specified in the previous step. Also note that projectdoc needs to know how information is autoconverted. In our case it is linking, therefore we add ":link".
