Display text instead of raw URL on sidebar; I believe it is the desired behavior. like this:

Hi 👋 Thanks for contributing! I love how clean it looks!

One issue is that currently the index uses the URL as key so if you have multiple URLs with different texts they won't show up on the sidebar. Instead we might want to index by a combination of URL + Text.

We should also show the full URL on hover when displaying the Links by name.

I'd like to let users choose their preferred presentation through the settings page so that users can go back to URLs if they so desire.

i didn't realize the first problem, but for my use case it is ok.

adding hover display and setting customization certainly has some work to do. i'm very new to Obsidian plugin, hopefully i can find some time to investigate.
