Hyperlink Type Filtering

You can choose which types of hyperlinks to remove:

• Both Internal and External : Removes all hyperlinks
• Internal Links Only: Only removes internal links like [Page](page.md), [Section](#heading)
• External Links Only: Only removes external links like [Site](https://example.com)

Hyperlink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific domains or URLs that should never be removed.

Note: Whitelist matching is case-insensitive and uses partial matching.

Wikilink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific wikilink paths that should never be removed.

Note: Wikilink whitelist uses exact matching (case-insensitive). The entire wikilink path must match the whitelist entry.
