Any way to Create a URL Link to resource text in iOS App?

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I'm sure I remember a time in the iOS app when selecting some resource text, then selecting "Share" copied the selected text to the clipboard with a URL link appended - a link which would open up right to that selected text.

"Share" now only seems to copy the selected text, but without the concluding URL link. I can't find a way to create a URL link back to the selected text from iOS app any more. I've tried Share|Copy and Share to Google Keep etc, but the results are the same - no URL.

Is this still possible, and if not, could it please be reinstated, as it's a very useful researching facility I use a lot for pasting extracts into other documents, sermon prep etc and being able to link back to the source for further reading etc.

Thanks!

Did you check your citation settings? More menu —> Settings —> Citation settings. There’s a ‘hyperlink copied citation’ option.

Brilliant thanks Yasmin! That's exactly what was after.

I didn't have the "Copy Citation" option ticked either, but ticking both that one, plus the one you mention has restored the hyperlinks. I'm pretty sure I didn't ever untick those but that doesn't matter now that we're back in business.
