How can I save the result of a ripgrep search (alien.top)

I use ripgrep for searching in a project and I want to save the ripgrep buffer with the links.

Simply saving the buffer just removes the links and leaves only plain text.

​

(The reason for this is, I want to go through several parts of the code which I found with ripgrep. This will take some days, and I want to be able to keep track of my progress by going through the search results and delete the ones I already worked on.)

I would use Embark for this:

C-. (embark-act)

follow by

S (embark-collect)

This will convert whatever content you have in the mini-buffer into an ordinary buffer that you can keep, browse and even save.
