Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in Talk Android with the raw message Message with [link](https://nextcloud.com/), then inspect the message rendering and preview behavior. Compare the Android result with Talk web and Desktop; done means the link renders in the actual message while the preview also shows the expected result.
