This reminds me of a little joke link shortener I built[0] that allows you to set the various opengraph tags to the shortened url. This lets you completely fake the link preview generated by most platforms that show you one. Even though I originally built it as a joke, I find myself using it pretty often to make links 'self-explanatory'.

Not the blog author, but practically speaking, faking OpenGraph tags would result in same phishing capability (considering that most people don't check the cards carefully), but it'll still show that the link was not from that site. But again, most people would still click paypal-not-really.com or coinbase-is-not-controlling-this-site.com
