Description

Currently, the package allows copying links that are not really links and just internal files.

It would be awesome if there was a way to disable file:// links from being treated as links.

Alternatively, maybe we can pass a function instead of a callback into showCopyLink so we can fine-tune the behaviour.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look into how the context menu items are generated and see if you can conditionally remove the 'Copy Link' and 'Save Link As' items when the link protocol is 'file:'.
