Sure.

Depending on your web browser, there are plugins to populate the clipboard =
with a link formatted according to a template variously as plain text, mark=
down, html, media-wiki, or (with configuration) org-mode. =20

I use chrome and am happy with "Create Link" https://chrome.google.com/webs=
tore/detail/create-link/gcmghdmnkfdbncmnmlkkglmnnhagajbm?hl=3Den-US

Firefox similarly has Make Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/a=
