Remove automatic link formatting when pasting email addresses and links

i know this has been posted before, but Figma really needs to address this issue. pasting an email address should not just format the existing text as a link with the new text as a destination. when creating prototypes with lots of dummy accounts, or even with real data, copying and pasting lots of emails becomes the hardest part of my day, and there are no key shortcuts either. i have to copy, then right click, paste to replace. or “copy as text.” it’s obnoxious, and frankly i don’t think anyone using Figma has ever needed a functional email link for a prototype, it’s not like we’re creating live products where someone might actually click the email link to send an email.

please fix this Figma, it’s infuriating and breaks the flow of creating prototypes. When basically every prototype i create for work requires a list of users and their contact information, it becomes a daily problem which destroys efficiency. at the very least, allow us to paste them without formatting using cmd+shift+V or something.

    Hello Figmas, 

    This is a feature request for Figma Sites regarding link styling. Currently, when setting an external web link on any text, Figma Sites automatically applies an underline to the string. While this makes it clear that the text is clickable, I often want to disable the underline for aesthetic or branding reasons.

    Here’s what happens:

    1. I select or type text.

    2. I apply a URL link.

    3. Figma automatically underlines the text.

    4. I must then manually disable the underline via the text panel.

    This manual step can be cumbersome—especially when working with sites containing many links. Ideally, I’d love a setting that lets me:

    • Disable automatic underlines across an entire project or site

    • Or, at least, turn off underlines by default for each link created

    This would streamline the workflow and reduce repetitive styling work. It also allows teams to enforce consistent link styling without extra effort.

    Thanks for considering this request! I believe adding this feature would meaningfully improve the design-to-site workflow.
