Link Grabber & Dashboard

About

**Link Grabber & Dashboard** is a productivity tool that lets you visually select any area of a webpage and instantly collect every hyperlink found within that area into an organized side panel dashboard.

### How to use

1. Click the **Link Grabber** icon in the Chrome toolbar — the side panel dashboard opens on the right.
2. Press the **"Start Capture"** button in the side panel — a blue information banner appears at the top of the current webpage confirming selection mode is active.
3. On the webpage, **click and drag** to draw a rectangle over the area containing the links you want to capture — a blue dashed outline follows your selection.
4. **Release the mouse** — all hyperlinks found inside the selected area are automatically captured and displayed in the side panel dashboard. Each link shows the page title, full URL, and the website favicon.
5. Use the **📋 copy button** next to any link to copy it individually, or click **"📋 All"** to copy every captured link at once.
6. Switch between **"Text + URL"** (tab-separated format, ideal for spreadsheets) and **"URL Only"** using the copy format toggle.
7. Press **🗑️** to clear all captured links and start fresh.
8. Press **ESC** at any time during selection to cancel without capturing.
