Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

Press and hold the thumbnail; is that want you want?

In Boost for reddit, it was visible right away, without any clicking. It was incredibly convenient. I'd very much like to see this feature too.

Yes, that information, but without having to long press. If it's displayed along with the post title, I can quickly see where it goes and skip to the next post if it's clearly a video. Otherwise, I have to read the title, decide if I'm interested in it, then do a long press, possibly to be disappointed by what I see.
