Title: [Function Suggestion] Anki: Bring the original sentence, article title and link when adding a card
Thanks to the Anki Connect integration added by #1241, adding dictionary results into Anki is very convenient.
Question
I usually read English web articles, and when I encounter new words, I will make Anki cards together with the context. Now there are only words and definitions in the cards, and the original sentences, article titles and links have to be returned to the web page and copied manually.
Suggestion
Add a few variables to the field mapping:
{Sentence}: The original sentence where the selected word is located, for example, use the same set of accessibility interfaces that read the selected text to get it
{SourceTitle} and {SourceURL}: the title and link of the front browser tab (Safari or Chrome)
Optional {ClozeSentence}: a sentence with the target word marked, such as <b>word</b>
This can be mapped to fields such as Sentence, Source-Name, and Source-URL. If it is not recognized, just leave the variable blank.
reason
"Word + original sentence + source" is a common way to memorize words in Anki. With these variables, Easydict can save words and context with one click while reading.
