Description
We want to have URL Previews generally enabled, as they are cool.
In certain cases, e.g. when posting a collection of URLs e.g. something like
Preview URL: https://demo....
Download URL: https://download...
Ticket URL: https://isuses...
Documentation URL: https://docs...
It looks very messy to have all those previews underneath.
Is there a syntax to intentionally suppress preview generation?
I currently workaround by ommitting the https:// part of the URLs, most browsers behave well, and promote to https, but people copy-pasting URLs into other tools, often end up with insecure connections then. -- so this workaround is not a good idea.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the existing URL Preview handling and determine how individual URLs could opt out while previews remain enabled generally; done means the documented syntax suppresses selected previews without removing URL schemes or affecting other URLs.
