 Replying to [comment:5 drivdigital]:
 > Also, this shouldn't be happing by default – it should be detecting it
 has oEmbed and asking **'should this link show a preview'**, not just
 overwriting and embedding.

 You mean it should show a popup every time a user tries to embed
 something? How annoying would that be? :)

 This shortcut has been around for a while (~5 years perhaps). If you paste
 embeddable URL at the beginning of a new line, the editor will try to
 embed it and show a preview. This is by far the most common user case.

 If you want to add a link, do it the "proper way". Instead of pasting the
 URL, open the link modal (click on the link button, then on the cogwheel
 for the advanced options), then paste the URL in both "URL" and "Link
 Text" fields and click "Add Link".

 Closing as worksforme, feel free to reopen with specific user case(s) we
 may be missing in the "insert a link" behaviour.
