First: Fantastic Program!

Problem
Copying a long unc path with url encoding (space=%20, etc.) gets pretty unreadable. It would be cool to have the text of the link be something readable and maybe shorten it with a custom regex but the url is still an absolute UNC-Path and correctly clickable encoded.

Solution
Being able to supply a regex for the link title.
Example:

Considered alternatives
Pasting the unc url-encoded link into outlook and then selecting it, pressing Ctrl+K and editing the url-text manually.

Let me know if I should further clarify anything
