I think the easiest way is to write another plugin:
$.fn.$text=function(){
return $( document.createTextNode( this.text() ) )
}
$("a").$text().appendTo("#sanbox");
but you can extend the String prototype too:
String.prototype.jqueryify=function(){
return $( document.createTextNode( this ) )
}
$('a').text().jqueryify().appendTo("#sanbox");
