ClipCache Pro can almost do all of that. Except that the pasted text won’t contain the date & time, URL, and source info (although these are visible on ClipCache itself), which you probably also want.

Another option is to use a browser extension to collect the text and URL in the shape of a customisable template, and collect them in a text editor such as NoteTab that has a “paste board” function to collect the contents of the clipboard. E.g.

Create Link (Chrome):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/create-link/gcmghdmnkfdbncmnmlkkglmnnhagajbm?

Copy Link Text (CoLT) (Firefox):

But the date and time would need to be added manually, so it’s not perfect…
