Drag and Drop of URLs to issues

[Lutz Rentel]

Hi community,

Jira offers the ability to add URLs via the "Link" functionality to issues. However, if I want to add a URL, I need to open "Link", switch to "Web Link", enter the URL, add a description manually and then commit it with a click on the "Link" button.

Nowadays linking capability is usually as simple as just a drag'n drop operation, be it creating a link on my Windows Desktop, add one to an email or put it in my bookmark list.

So far I couldn't find any word about simpler Link creation on Jira issues, but well, often you don't see the forest because of all the trees. 

So does anybody know about an easier way to add a URL link to a Jira issue? By drag'n drop or by a nice hotkey or by means of an add-on?

Any answer or help is highly appreciated.
