The revamped Press This in WordPress 4.2 includes new options that can be modified by filters or a plugin like this.
Options include turning on or off the quick media insertion feature or automatically blockquoting the page’s excerpt if you haven’t selected text, and more.
Development is taking place at https://github.com/kraftbj/press-this-extended
Via your site’s wp-admin Dashboard:

- Click Install to add the plugin to your server

The new Press This adds easy-to-use media discovery, blockquote insertion, cooler source links. It is really flexible, but no UI is included. This reveals the built-in flexibility.
