Convert URL to HTML

QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert URL to HTML?
Yes - URL converts to HTML.

A .url has no page content, so there's nothing to 'convert' to a saved HTML page. What users want: open the link, then save the live page (Ctrl+S → 'Webpage, Complete'). To turn the link itself into a clickable HTML file, paste the URL= value into an <a href> in a text editor. db count 3 reflects trivial text rewrap, not real page capture.
