If a file is opened in Emacs then it sounds like a case for 
`org-capture' or `org-store-link'. Perhaps storing link is better 
compatible with `url-retrive' callback and it makes delay for 
`org-insert-link' due to network roundtrip less probable.

When I add a link to my notes, often I mention where I noticed it.

My idea is to handle dropping of text into Org buffers. Currently it 
causes opening links in eww. I think, there are better options: convert 
from html to Org using pandoc and insert text, `org-capture', 
`org-store-link'. I have not tried to implement it. Currently I have 
just a couple of hints in my notes: `dnd-protocol-alist' and 
https://github.com/abo-abo/org-download/blob/master/org-download.el as 
an example of code.
