[Feature request] More link options (lemmy.world)

On Android, clicking on a link immediately opens it in the built-in webview, without the option to first inspect/copy the link, or an option to open it in your browser instead. This is especially annoying when links are attached to other text like this, as you can't see what website you're even opening.

This also annoys me quite a lot. On Boost for Reddit you can hold on hyperlinks to open a menu like this.

There is an option in settings to use an external browser VS the built in. The other suggestions are nice though

And I highly recommend using that option, as the internal browser is not good. It doesn't even have an option to close itself so sometimes I was stuck in a loop of redirects and had to force close the app.

The built-in webview should have an option to open in external browser. So we can still have the default as open in webview, but if necessary we can open in external browser as needed.
