Upgrade StorageA couple of "Why and How to Fix" questions
Here is a title - History and Genealogy of the Brubaker Brubacher-Brewbaker Family in America. I enter all the fields. I "create a bibliography" for the item and copy to clipboard...looks good so far. But I want to save this citation as a note so I don't need to re-create it every time I want to use it in a different document.

But once I copy it to the note, creates italics for the title and creates a link for the URL.
Copying that gets me this ...

If I put it in and clear formatting, I get the representation below, which is better but still insists on the duplicate URLS which means every single citation has to have the one instance plus both punctuations cleared.

The above is exactly what copies unless I also take the 2nd step of right clicking the link and breaking the link source.
Is there ONE step to copy with formatting cleared and copy one link only....I have literally hundreds of sources and this kind of workaround is ridiculous. Am I missing something? You notice even when copied here there are two links.....

But more importantly, this is a bit of an unusual use of Notes: If you want to quickly create a citation of an item, why not just create a quick citation/bib entry of that item?
And with hundreds of citation, it would also probably make sense to use the word processor integration features.
This is a shared account, so once I create a bibliography, I need to be able to put the formatted reference in a note so that the bibliography is created one time for current and future use. For us it makes sense to have the bibliography in a note attached to the reference otherwise it is a constant re-doing of any given quick citation.
I hope this makes sense as I have explained it....
