Why Microsoft OneNote can show a link to the contents are copied from?

When I copied some good information online and pasted them on Microsoft OneNote, it can tell that

Pasted from [website_address]

I have done some search, but hard to find how they did this. How to add this feature to a software?

According to the HTML clipboard format, there is an optional SourceURL property in the description section of the HTML clipboard data. You can also extract it from the BASE element in the HTML fragment.

Sometimes the website / web-page itself has javascript code that appends that text to anything copied from it. If this is the case you will see it when pasting into even notepad.exe

The main provider of such code is tynt.com and a lot of people find it annoying.
