Description
Problem Statement
The are multiple types of urls and links in the schema. In C# at least, some are strings, some are uris.
They also have different names.
Most use Url. Some use IconUrl, which makes some sense. AdaptiveAuthCardButton uses Image which makes no sense.
Proposed solution
Standardize down to Url as the name. Make every type a string or a Uri, please choose one.
Alternatives or Workarounds
I am using all the names currently, but it would preferable to standardize.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the Adaptive Cards schema and the C# types that expose URL or link properties, including AdaptiveAuthCardButton. Inventory the differing names and whether each property is a string or Uri. Done means the URL properties use a consistent Url name and a single chosen representation across the affected types, with compatibility implications addressed.
