QuickOWL (https://quickowl.app) is a custom contextmenu extension/add-on, for browsers & Thunderbird Email client, to quickly open user defined web links (URLs) with selected text from a browser/email as input.
Inspiration:
The inspiration behind developing this extension was: work related bugs or tickets which come in plain text format in emails or internal work portal reports. In order to open the bugs/tickets which are plain text, the usual steps followed are:
1) copy the bug/ticket number
2) open the respective internal bugs/tickets portal
3) paste the copied bug/ticket number and hit a button to do the search or to open it directly
Above scenario is only for bugs/tickets, if our work or day-to-day life demands such copying and pasting of text across websites we will be wasting significant amount of time on this process. The QuickOWL extension/add-on aims to remove the steps 1 & 2, and directly sends the selected text (bug/ticket number) to respective bug/tickets portal as input.
