On mobile I use(d) Relay for Reddit browsing. The app has a feature that I miss in Jerboa.

In posts/comments, [hyperlinked text can be long-pressed to reveal the destination](hi there i am a URI to any other website) in a pop-up overlayed on the link (sorry, I don’t know the proper term for this UI tool) without actually opening to the link. Upon tapping off the pop-up, it closes and I tap on the URI to follow through to it, or not, as I wish. In Jerboa, pressing a hyperlink only opens it, site unseen (pun intended).

This change would be useful because sometimes I don’t want to open the linked page, given the target (e.g. youtube, instagram).

In Jerboa I see no way of discovering the URI of a hyperlink without following to it, which would be convenient to avoid.

As well as showing the link, it would be good if there were options too (all of my examples are from Relay as that was the perfect app for me):
