As a former rif user, I really miss being able to see where a text hyperlink will take me without having to actually follow that link. It helped me avoid websites I don't want to visit (for example because they are full of trackers or I already know there is a paywall).

In rif tapping a link opened a pop up showing the linked URL and the options to share, copy or go to that URL. But I can see how other people might dislike that extra step to follow a link, so maybe there are other options like only long tapping on a link showing the URL.

Or is there already a way to do this and I'm just ignorant?

I agree, this would be nice to have. Imo it would also be helpful to be able to copy a link URL.

Coming from Relay, my intuitive way of interaction would be to long press a link, which would open a small dialog showing the url and giving the option to copy the link and ideally also to open it in an external browser.
