Add hook that allows customization of link text

[dpup]

URLs can be long and not very human readable. It would be nice to have an option where-by the link text can be customized, either by extracting context from the URL or making a background request to fetch metadata.

--> <a href="https://www.google.ru/maps/@59.9393895,30.3165389,15z">Map (59.9393895N 30.3165389E)</a>

https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+York,+NY
--> <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/New+York,+NY">New York, NY</a>

Usage could be something like:

<Linkify tranform={fn}>{text}</Linkify>

+1 on this.

For example, it could do a fetch of the link, then return the page title. I'm trying this here- https://codesandbox.io/s/9rjD5X9xz

It should be ok to add a hook, tansformAnchorText, where you can receive the text before create the anchor element.
