May the Composer autodetect the selected text as a URL default when creating a
link, and auto show the text as a likely link target at the area for link
location of the link properties dialogue window,other than blank. For example ,
let's create a link to http://www.mozilla.org for the selected text
"www.mozilla.org", and activate the link creating function through menu or
toolbar button, then http://www.mozilla.org or at least www.mozilla.org appear
at the link location editable area.
