    The above is for 'Direct Links', such as auction side plugs.

    This pertains primarily to auction links, which are unfriendly to the "preview content" default option and the other one next to the (as Joe put it) "dash/ minus sign", which removes any level of preview and just adds a clickable link (see Joe's post).

    For example, doing this (choosing the "display as card" option) with a Youtube link:

    Gives you this:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnrzsZuDe6I

    (note that choosing either of the fist two options gives the same result with Youtube links… for some reason)

    However…

    Doing this (choosing the "display as rich link" option) with a regular "it-plays-well-with-previews" weblink:

    gives you this:

    https://www.foxnews.com/media/columbia-professor-condemns-aoc-calling-anti-israel-protests-nonviolent-agent-chaos

    And doing this (again choosing the "display as card" option) with a similar regular "it-plays-well-with-previews" weblink:

    gives you this:

    'Daily Show' hosts predict Biden will lose election after widely panned 'cannibals' remarks
    The host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" mocked President Biden on Tuesday for implying that his uncle was eaten by cannibals during World War II.

    But for some reason, GB auction links do not play well with link preview formatting. So you have to use the "dash/ minus sign" (which is actually the "display as text" choice) as noted in Joe's post.
