You could, if you use windows, right click on the URL then select 'inspect'. The window to the right will reveal the URL. There are other options. In addition, when you select the Url button when composing a message in this forum, the instruction is 'insert-text-here'. It does not instruct the poster to insert the URL.
Further, if I posted a link that was known to be of unsafe origin, I'm sure I'd be booted from the platform.
