Describe the solution you'd like
Sometimes (all the time, in one of my use cases) I find a PDF on a website which I would like to be clipped, instead of saving it, making a note, attaching it to obsidian...

An example of what I would like to happen :

  1. Open a webpage on a website; e.g. https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights
  2. There's a PDF link on the webpage, which I want to access : https://www.un.org/sites/un2.un.org/files/2021/03/udhr.pdf
  3. Open the PDF, and Clip it; resulting in the PDF being stored in the vault folder or the vault attachments folder
  4. For the clipping, the heading, body etc. would be as customised by the template; and at the foot of the clip, the text would be of the PDF would be attached/linked e.g.:

Lorem Ipsum
[[udhr.pdf]]

On top of cutting down steps for making notes, it helps with annotation of PDFs, since I can make the annotations on the browser, then automatically have it clipped into Obsidian vault and make some changes on the note then and there

This is not currently possible via Obsidian URI. The solution will be similar or related to #37.
