Make caption links clickable for everyone

The submitted context

Turn valid URLs in post and carousel captions into safe, clickable links for all accounts, with destination previews and anti-spam protections. Creators currently send people through a profile link or Story sticker, separating the destination from its post. Meta confirmed a March 2026 test for some Meta Verified subscribers; one tester saw an allowance of up to 10 links per month, while Meta did not disclose how many subscribers had access or whether the feature would launch broadly. Engadget and PetaPixel describe the capability as something creators have requested. The desired outcome is a generally available cross-platform capability rather than a paid, limited experiment.
