In case you're also trying to save that for later by directly "forking" it to your Notion, instead of saving it to Pocket for instance.

I found that putting the below link into a Notion page of mine suggests to create de linked DB:

If you know of a more direct button I'm all ears.

This needs an explanation. Are the highlights automatically generated by an AI tool or user contributed like Wikipedia or did one person do it?

This appears to be someone's notion notebook with their handmade notes.

Is it only me or is Notion's UI very confusing? Entries of the table look like links, but when I click they just pop out in a little text field non-editable with a shadow and don't seem to be clickable. I feel quite stupid to be honest...
