Immo Junghärtchen shared a Shortcut for StretchLink.cc on the forum, and I’ve modified it slightly for my own needs. Find both below.
The original shortcut can be found on the forum, but here’s a direct link. Thanks to Immo for getting this started.
I created my own version specifically for outputting Markdown links, with a few other modifications. You can download it below. If you need to convert short urls to long urls in Markdown for blogging, forum post, etc., this should save you some time. When you install it, you can optionally set it up to clean tracking info and tidy up those unwieldy Amazon URLs.
