As an option, when I select a link in the app, I would like a popup that will show the link address in full and to confirm my choice to visit the site.

I got URLCheck to do this globally for everything. The other advantage is that I can burn away any trackers or referral codes before navigating to a link.

I'm not sure if it makes sense to have a warning be the default behaviour in the app, but it could be a nice setting for those that don't want an external app for something like this.
