Change if a link should have a preview before sending it

Nik

If you're sending a message with link(s) in it, then little link previews will appear under your message to show other people what the website is before clicking on it.

Sometimes, you want to send link(s) without the previews. Maybe to avoid spoilers, or maybe so your message doesn't become enormous, just because you had multiple links in it.

But you can only remove your link previews after you've already sent the message. The button that the message author sees to remove the link preview is next to the preview itself. It's only visible after you've sent the message, and after the preview has already loaded and appeared for everybody.

Being able to remove link previews before sending the message would be useful in some cases for these reasons.

    I've just found that there is an implemented way to do this. I don't believe it's shown anywhere in discord itself, only displayed as a tip in this help article: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/206342858--How-do-I-disable-auto-embed-

    • Pro Tip: If you want to cancel an embed for one specific link, you can wrap the link in '< >' tags.

    This resolves another issue I've had, too. Before I knew this tip, I didn't know how to have only some link previews in a message disabled, but not all.

    So I guess my feature suggestion is to have this as a new GUI element, instead of just text formatting.
