how to _paste_ hyperlink into notebook

I sometimes save code examples and whole discussions from this group
and make a hyperlink in the body of the notebook pointing back to the
page. I've installed the CoLT add-on for Firefox, and made a new
submenu item in the right click popup menu

Cell[TextData[ButtonBox["%T", BaseStyle->"Hyperlink", ButtonData->{URL
["%U"], None}, ButtonNote-> "%U"]], "Text"]

In the Mathematica notebook, in an empty cell, press Shift+Ctrl+E,
select the expression, paste over it, press Shift+Ctrl+E

It works but surely there must be a more canonical and easier way that
I've missed? A palette button that takes an <a href= and insert a
Cell?
