I'm not sure what a "sponsored feature" project is, but tell me more. Maybe we can get one going. Joel

I'd love to know if this is possible; I'd even pay for it. If you want to organize a 'sponsored feature' project, let me know.

Let's say I copy a block of text on a web page and paste it into a lyx document. Some of the words in this block of text include hyperlinks to other URLs (web pages, pdf files, etc.). But when I paste the text block into lyx, the hyperlinks are gone and just the text gets pasted. Is there a way to paste the text into lyx so that the hyperlinks are retained in the lyx document? Or, alternatively, do I need to recreate the hyperlinks manually (which would be a pain)? The users' guide doesn't mention a way to retain the hyperlinks, so I thought I'd check here to see if anyone has a way to accomplish this that's better than re-linking each one manually.
