How can I copy selected text from Firefox with inline hyperlinks as plain text?
text { hyperlink | http://example.com } more text
A partial solution is here, but it's far from perfect.
I have been researching clipboard managers, autoitscript - didn't find a solution yet. the best solution would be cross-platform.
Any suggestions?

The Firefox addon CoLT adds options to the right-click menu for links, to copy link text, URL etc. in a custom format to clipboard:
Open the addon options, click New > Custom Format... and enter the following:
It works for a link only, not for links in selected text (but you may email the author this as feature request).
Another solution I can think of is to select the text with links, right-click, View Selection Source and copy that. Then use a regular expression in a programmer's text editor or with some scripting language on the copied markup to format everything to your liking (mainly filter out unwanted tags).
