PATCH: Possibility to yank target of link at point to kill ring

PATCH: Possibility to yank target of link at point to kill ring

Hi,

I often need to copy target of a link to kill ring, so I decided to
write a small function to do that.
Would it make sense to pull this into org-mode directly?

Thanks for consideration and potential review.
