Thank you for all your comments. To sum u= p:=C2=A0

- There were no comments related to the implementation deta= ils.
- There are concerns about this may incentivize users to use copypa= ste functionality extensively.
- A counter argument was made that crypto= hijackers use the clipboard, because that is the most convenient thing to = hijack, not because they can only hijack that and, if Bitcoin users would m= ove to other ways of specifying destinations, that may end up being just as= an issue, too.
- The rest of the conversation was ab= out crypto hijackers, which I think is off topic in this thread.

Fin= ally I'd like to note, there's already a work in progress implement= ation in Wasabi:=C2=A0https://github.com/zkSNACKs/WalletWasabi/pull/825

This works if the author of the web page thought about this, and
created appropriate liks/qr codes. In many cases, addresses are
just presented for users as text, to copy.

People also send addresses in message apps and emails. Maybe if
applications start to autodetect bitcoin addresses and convert them to
bitcoin: links, there will be less need to copy-paste. But I suspect
that this feature will not be quickly adopted by applications.

There are also BIP75 and BIP47 that may help, but the number of wallets
that support these protocols is small (I think in part because of
relative complexity of these protocols).
