Link Preview

Information about the content or nature of a hypertext link's destination page, provided to users before they follow the link. Link previews help users make informed navigation decisions, reducing the costly trial-and-error of following links to discover their content and then using the back button. For visually impaired users, link previews are particularly valuable because returning from an unwanted destination via a screen reader requires re-establishing orientation on the original page. Preview information can be derived from the destination page's title, first paragraph, meta description, or structured metadata like Dublin Core.
