      Issue Summary

      Right now, when you copy content form an external page into the Confluence editor, the editor will try to preserve the anchor tag properties which is really useful most of the time, but for other users who has a specific need, this may mean unnecessary steps to take while trying to generate content.

      It would be great to have the option to disable the auto formatting of the URL when pasting content into the editor.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Copy an external web page with formatted URLs. E.g. 

      <a href="https://someurl.com">A text that takes you somewhere</a> 

      2. Paste it into the Confluence editor

      Expected Results

      Formatting of URLs are preserved from the source page and there should be an option to enable/disable formatting by default.

      Option to choose either:

      <a href="https://someurl.com">A text that takes you somewhere</a>  

      or

      <a href="https://someurl.com">https://someurl.com</a>  

      Actual Results

      Formatting of URLs are preserved and there are no other options to enable/disable the formatting.

      <a href="https://someurl.com">A text that takes you somewhere</a>  

      Workaround

      Manually format the URLs in the Confluence page after pasting the content into the editor.
