do we have a way of filtering links in chats? I found this FR in that regard from some time ago.

If you mean something like “show all images in the chat”, but for links - no, there is currently no support for it.
this would be a nice feature, it could be an additional tab in the chat profile “Links”

Maybe it would make sense to combine this feature with this one?
It would be nice to have option to generate link preview (link card) on sender client side, and send it to receiver of message. Benefit is that receiver would be able to glance and read description before clicking on link.
Here are a few examples of link preview:
Is there plan for feature like that? I couldn’t find anything searching forum.
Discord, telegram, WhatsApp, twitter, mastodon, Facebook and co all show a link preview which is pulled from special meta tags (“open graph meta tags” is their name, here is a list of them: Complete List of HTML Meta Tags · GitHub ):

This would make it possible to display the links in the list as thumbnails and also make it easier to find a specific link more quickly. In my experience, this is a feature that is often missed by new users.
