Warnings for non-OPML exports if data contains href style links

I'm a big fan of the new link interface, in particular I think managing it with a tab key is both elegant and convenient.  Well done team.  The only problem I occasionally face is in exporting that kind of data, as the plain text or formatted text options don't preserve the URL in the href style links. 

I will often export a fairly large chunk of text to work on it in a text editor, and then bring it back in to store it.  In those instances, I already know that most URLs won't be preserved so I will actively check if they exist. But if I'm copying the data into something like slack, I will still use the export feature, but it generally doesn't occur to me to check for the URLs. 

I would love a little note in the export window, if the data contains the new href style links  and the selected format is plain text or formatted text. 

Thanks very much.

  Hi Mike,

  Thank you for the write-up! I will get this to the team to deliberate on :-)
