Comment:

 @ma7moudat After #36380 and giving this some thought, I don't like the
 idea of having special behavior for links in comments with a "spam"
 status.

 I believe the Akismet plugin takes with comment content links is the best
 experience with any comment regardless of status:
 - href values are displayed alongside linked text
 - hovering over a link shows a preview of the location site

 Because the scope of this ticket is narrowly focused on providing special
 handling for links within the content of comments marked as spam, I am
 going to suggest this be closed as a wontfix.  However, what can we do to
 improve how WordPress core presents comments within the admin for
 moderators regardless of the comment status?
