As far I can see, at the moment, if a cell in a spreadsheet (Excel, Google Sheets) is a link to a Wikipedia article (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNN), then it will be correctly pasted as an internal link ([[CNN]]). However, if a cell in a spreadsheet is a link to some other website (e.g. https://www.cnn.com) only the link title will be pasted. It should be pasted as an actual link ([https://www.cnn.com CNN]).
To reproduce:
- Open this Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19Y9svKXQc7asqMwk_8hGvG0AfZ1cXNGgNEFO0e0Ql1w/edit?usp=sharing
- Edit a page in VE
- Copy the four cells from the spreadsheet and paste them into the page in VE
Expected result: The top cell in the second column of the table will have an internal link to [[CNN]] and the bottom cell in the second column is an external link to https://www.cnn.com
Actual result: The top cell in the second column of the table is an internal link to [[CNN]] and the bottom cell in the second column is the text "CNN" without a link.
