Addon that Saves Linked items?

[thepman69]

#1 ---I like how "ATLAS" by crazydutchguy links gear ingame
#2 ---I have (and like) "ZAM Notebook"

Is their any addon that would let me save linked items i see in chat, so I can make my own list ingame to look at whenever I want.

Would be nice to right click an item link in chat and have it say something like "save link to notebook" so I could view it at any time. And maybe that ingame notebook would be cut n paste compatable? I say that because I cannot paste in ZAM Notebook.

EDIT: I can link an item i have to chat and cut n paste it into ZAM notepad, but link doesnt work from the notebook. If i copy n paste it from the notebook to chat then the link works. too bad I cannot save linked items from chat.

ANYTHING Close to this exist?
any ideas?
TY

ESO: @thepman69

P.S. I wish their was an addon to show player names above their heads ingame... I KNOW cant be done.

OK so
I tried an addon called "Chat2Clipboard"
I now tried an addon called "TIM 4"

I can use "chat2clipboard" to copy a chat msg to my system clipboard and ctrl+v it to "ZAM notebook" in game
-i can make a list of items id like to have handy for quick viewing.
........but i have to copy n paste each one back into chat to click on it for a pop up to occur!

On a side note, not all is bad because now i know what im looking for can be done.

Using "TIM 4" (an in game messenger) it stores different chat for me.
and linked items are also Clickable yay
only negative thing is it saves all chat msgs and gets cluttered

Would it be hard to make an addon that would just simply:
click on a linked item in chat and have an option to send to an in game notepad?
with the option to *Save *delete items or note pages or * Add pages etc
also with cut in paste intregated so you can move things around.

Im using these addon in a mickey mouse kind of way, i just cannot find anything else that meets my needs

Any ideas?

Im hoping a God like Garkin sees this

The "item link" is nothing but a piece of string formated data.

The chat has a special way to display this data (the same way your browser displays a hyperlink differently from how it is written), including showing the tooltip (also just a way to display that data) on click.
It would be easiest if you could say "ShowItemToolTip(ItemLink)" or something like that, but I have no idea if there is such a function.

With 1.3 we got a whole host of new item link functions (and somes back that had been removed). So at worst you might be able make your own tooltip to display.

There is method which you can use with every tooltip:

tooltipControl:SetLink(itemLink)

So your function ShowItemToolTip(itemLink) will look like this:

function ShowItemToolTip(itemLink)
   InitializeTooltip(PopupTooltip)
   PopupTooltip:SetLink(itemLink)
end

Simple solution:

LINK_HANDLER:RegisterCallback(LINK_HANDLER.LINK_CLICKED_EVENT,
    function(link, button, text, linkStyle, linkType)
            if linkType == ITEM_LINK_TYPE and button == 2 then
            local old = ZO_ChatWindowTextEntryEditBox:GetText()
            ZO_ChatWindowTextEntryEditBox:SetText(link)
            ZO_ChatWindowTextEntryEditBox:CopyAllTextToClipboard()
            ZO_ChatWindowTextEntryEditBox:SetText(old)
            CENTER_SCREEN_ANNOUNCE:AddMessage(0, CSA_EVENT_SMALL_TEXT, nil, "Link has been copied to clipboard.")
            return true --if you want to show tooltip when you right click on the link, delete this line
        end
    end)

When you right click on the item link it will be copied to the clipboard.
