Any way to only paste cell values in comments?

when copying from excel, pasting in comments includes cell markup.
in the example below of what pastes in comments, i am only trying to paste the link " https://www.cvs.com/minuteclinic/clinic-visit "
usage for this is that we are given a link grid and link tagging structure to paste in comments to make it easier for and marketers to QA what the links should be. it didn’t start pasting this way until recently

this is what pastes:
table
{mso-displayed-decimal-separator:“.”;
mso-displayed-thousand-separator:“,”;}
tr
{mso-height-source:auto;}
col
{mso-width-source:auto;}
td
{padding-top:1px;
padding-right:1px;
padding-left:1px;
mso-ignore:padding;
color:black;
font-size:11.0pt;
font-weight:400;
font-style:normal;
text-decoration:none;
font-family:Calibri, sans-serif;
mso-font-charset:0;
text-align:general;
vertical-align:bottom;
border:none;
white-space:nowrap;
mso-rotate:0;}
.xl671
{color:#4472C4;
vertical-align:middle;
border:.5pt solid windowtext;
background:white;
mso-pattern:black none;
white-space:normal;}

Hey @corpus_chase_M, thank you for reaching out!

I’ve doubles checked this internally with our support team and got the confirmation that this is a known issue with paste from MS apps. So I’ve changed the topic from “Ask the community” to “Share an Idea”.
Please feel free to vote. Community members can leave their feedback and also share workarounds for this.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

@Gayani_S looks like this isnt an issue for the new annotations, wondering if theres a way they can look into how those are coded for some learnings into fixing this for comments?
