Describe your idea

When clicking on a link in user-generated markup, if the display text is formatted by a URL but that text does not match the underlying URL, the user should be notified of the mismatch (with the option to either cancel or continue to the link)

Motivation

Eg, if a link leads to google.com but the link text is eternagame.org, this could be used to intentionally mislead users.

Proposed Solution

We should be able to implement this via dompurify
