UPDATE:
@JoeyShmoe did a great job creating a Chrome Extension and a Firefox Extension to save us all the hassle of setting up a bookmarklet. The extension will place a button on any Amazon product page. When you click the button it will copy a link to your clipboard, which you can paste into any DDF post. The post will then contain the product title, image, and a working link to the product.
Thanks @JoeyShmoe!

For anyone who doesn't want to install a browser extension, read below how to set up the bookmarklet:
Here is a bookmarklet that will make a DD link from any amazon item page, and format it with the title and an image so you can paste it into a DDF post.
Example:
Little Tikes Rocking Horse Magenta ($34.07)
(Not sure what a bookmarklet is? Read more about them in this thread: http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=61269.5.)
Here's how to install the bookmarklet:
1. If you don't currently see a row of bookmarks on the top of your browser, you will need to show the bookmarks bar.
- In Chrome, click the 3 vertical dots at the top right of your screen, click Settings, and click Always Show the Bookmarks Bar.
- In Firefox, click the 3 horizontal lines at the top right of your screen, and click Customize. Then click Show/Hide Toolbars (bottom left of your screen) and check off the Bookmarks Toolbar.
2. Copy the following code. (To do so, click the SELECT button and then press control-c on your keyboard.)
3. To create the bookmarklet, right click on your bookmarks bar and click "Add page" (if you're in Chrome) or "New bookmark" (Firefox).
For the Name, enter whatever you want (eg: Dan Amazon link), and for the URL/Location enter the code above, which you already copied.
4. Click Save (Chrome) or Add (Firefox)
To use the bookmarklet, simply click on the bookmark you created (in step 3) when you are on any amazon product page. Follow the prompts (you may need to press control-c to copy what pops up), and then paste it into any DDF post.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: The code might need a little tweaking, so let me know if you have a link that it doesn't work on. If there are any changes I will update the wiki.

var result = "[url=" + URL + "]" + document.title + price + "[/url][br][br][url=" + URL + "][img]" + image + "[/img][/url]";
if (document.execCommand('copy') !== false) {
var ddLink = document.createElement('span'),
range = document.createRange();
ddLink.id = "ddLink";
ddLink.innerText = result;
document.body.appendChild(ddLink);
range.selectNode(document.getElementById('ddLink'));
window.getSelection().addRange(range);
document.execCommand('copy');
document.getElementById('ddLink').remove();
setTimeout(function() {
alert('DD link copied to clipboard...')
}, 1000);
} else {
window.prompt("Press control-c", result);
}
void(0);
})()
3. To create the bookmarklet, right click on your bookmarks bar and click "Add page" (if you're in Chrome) or "New bookmark" (Firefox).
