Wowhead Quick Link
Mouse over and press CTRL-C on (almost) anything to generate a Wowhead or Armory link. Allows you to quickly look up anything on Wowhead without having to manually search for it. Lightweight and efficient.
Supports generating links to the Wowhead page for quests, achievements, items, spells, buffs, NPCs, mounts, battle pets, factions, or currencies by pressing CTRL-C while mousing over, as well as armory links for player characters.
Now also supports Raider.IO links by pressing CTRL-SHIFT-C.
Configuration
The default keybind CTRL-C can be changed in Key Bindings -> AddOns -> Wowhead Quick Link -> Generate Wowhead link.
The link can be customized with a prefix and suffix by typing /wql, to e.g. change to the German version of Wowhead (de.wowhead.com), or go directly to the comments section (wowhead.com#comments).
Suggestions and feedback are welcome!
when i use ctrl+c on an achievement that's being tracked from my quest list it seems to think the achievement is a quest. for example, if i use ctrl+c on the achievement 'on the offensive' i get https://wowhead.com/quest=15035 and not https://wowhead.com/achievement=15035
i know the old wowhead link grabber was able to determine whether i was hovered over a quest or an achievement on my quest tracker.
thank you so much for this addon!
Thank you for the awesome work! :)
When I tried get Raider.io link on tw server, addon returns a link to kr raider.io.
The armory function works fine btw.
I have made a couple of fixes that -seem- to get this working in BCC. Available here: https://github.com/Grendagon/Misc-Files/blob/main/WowheadQuickLink.zip?raw=true

The only thing I've found that isn't working is the ability to copy Quests directly from the quest long. Other than that, it works just fine!

Any chance this could be updated for TBCC ?

Fixed in v2.9.3.
Hey your addon is a lifesaver. Really Nice. Thank you.
Could you make it possible to get links for vendors showing in all the things please? Items work but Pets and vendor unfortunetely don't
This add-on is great, but one request I'd have for retrieving the quest link would be to put a button in the quest log, maybe to the right of or under the Quest Title, called "Get WowHead Link" that would do the same thing as Ctrl-C.
My use case for this add-on is to open the quest on WowHead and import the text in a language translator app. I'm planning to make a video on how to do it with this add-on if you are ok with it. You saved me the work of having to write and maintain this add-on myself.
I'd eventually like to bypass WowHead all together with this, but baby steps.
most of the copied links are sent to quests, and not to the element that I copy. (WowheadQuickLink-2.9.1)In reply to zh3rtwa:
Which specific elements are you trying to copy where a quest link is wrongly generated? And is this on retail or classic?
In reply to Blurish:
I’m trying to copy talents to see their characteristics on the site. it's in classic
In reply to Blurish:
It is not copied correctly on the panel of skills; in spells, it is also copied incorrectly. Sends to different quests.Keybind isn't set by default but once you set it up it works.
could we maybe get support for TransmogWishList (https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/transmogwishlist) I'd love that!
Keybinding is resetting to nothing.
If I reset it to "Ctrl-C" it works for a while. After several reloadui or logout and back on, it resets to nothing.
