Adding links. If an link goes to another WordPress site we will see an auto embed such as this:

A mix of auto embeds and text links.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like the option to include an auto embed OR a text link. As some links above are automatically embedded showing an article preview while other links just show a text link.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I added the following code from my tutorial here:
https://easywebdesigntutorials.com/adjusting-the-auto-embeds-of-wordpress-site-links-on-your-site/

By adding code from the above tutorial it forces the link dialog box to open for the links that were auto embedded. I can then select to convert the auto embeds to regular text links. One should not need to add the code to turn off auto embeds.
