Reinstate "paste as weblink"

It used to be the case that when pasting a link into Capacities, one of the drop-down options (the second one) was to "paste as weblink" or maybe "create weblink," which replaced the URL with a link consisting of the webpage title. That option seems to have disappeared, leaving only the options to leave the URL as is, which is hard to read, or create cards or an embed, which take up more space. It is still possible to create a weblink, but it now requires several steps - paste as an inline link, hover over it, click "Edit", and then click "Generate Weblink" (screenshots attached). Can you reinstate the old method?

Unable to create inline weblinks from pasting from clipboard

Prior to the last big update with all the new icons for each object (which I love by the way!)
I used to be able to paste a URL with control+V and have the object auto-analyzed inline (and the Docs still show this as an option).
I'm no longer able to do this. Is this a bug or was this removed?

We'll look into it, thanks for reporting.

Not sure if this is related and trying not to create a dupe post…
Mobile web link capture from Chrome seems like it’s broken or gone backwards. Whenever I create a web link it just shows up as “Web” in my notes.
Capturing web links is a significant use case for me and I’m starting to worry about overall usability after being an early user.
Any thoughts?

Steve Chiles: This seems to be something that is not directly related to this. Could you please create a separate ticket for this issue? Please also give us some information about the device, operating system and app version. Thank you very much!
