Research direction

Start by tracing the VSCode extension's existing permalink and copy-link behavior. Check how an option could access the active editor's selected text and preserve the file, commit, and line information. Done means the generated output matches the requested Markdown link and, when text is selected, includes the fenced code snippet with its language.

Description

enhancement

Like https://github.com/kawamataryo/copy-git-link for JetBrains, it would be nice if there would be an option to generate markdown that looks like this (code snippet included if text is selected):

[/somepackage/SomeClass.java#L42-L44](https://github.com/huyz/myrepo/blob/67b33efca188/somepackage/SomeClass.java#L42-L44)
```java
    public void setLast_name(String last_name) {
        this.last_name = last_name;
    }
```
