Could you please suggest a way to split $LINKTEXT and $URL by plaintext newline symbol, smth like \r\n or anything like that. Expected result: "Quoted text." https://www.url.com/ I've patched a record in profile/storage-sync.sqlite: default/addon@klml.dekey-template{"id":"key-template","key":"template","data":"\"$LINKTEXT\"\n$URL" but I am looking for more convenient way to get the same result. Thank you.

It is helpfully for me. I hope you will erase the bracket sign [] and (). Or make it as an option for user. Thanks
