I was testing the iOS application on an iPhone 11 Pro Max simulator and noticed that if I press down on a link with 3D Touch (e.g. #javascript under the "Top 100 Tags" section of the app), the system link preview is displayed. Seeing as users should feel like they're having a native experience, I thought It'd be good to open a discussion on this since the link previews allow a user to navigate away from the app into Safari.
To Reproduce
Run app in simulator
Open app
Press down on any post with 3D Touch
Press Open Link option
Expected behavior
I think there may be certain cases where link previews should be supported, but I'm not sure where. I'm not sure if phone numbers or addresses are available in the app, but these may be affected if the link preview feature is turned off.

Additional context There is a property available on web views which disables link previews, but it seems it's a coarse solution: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview/1415000-allowslinkpreview
