Created attachment 124667 [details] Screenshot of the dialog. Links are bold and underlined. SUMMARY There are plenty of clickable links in the "Get new wallpaper" download dialog. However, those links do not only point to *.kde.org but also to external sites. Surprises on Christmas are fine. However, here it would be very convenient to know the link destination before opening a link.

This would indeed be a good thing to get sorted (also important for the sake of privacy and security in general), but as to exactly how to fix it i'm unsure. We could, perhaps, do an overlay indicator the same way it's done in all manner of different browsers when you hover a link. Given the screenshot here, it feels important to mention that this would be done in the Qt Quick components, rather than the widget dialogues (unless, of course, someone else feels like doing it). The impact for this report would be that the fix is two-fold: It would require implementing the solution as suggested (or another like it), and also require the swap to the Qt Quick dialogue to be performed. The latter is already planned anyway, but even then it seems reasonable to mention it.
Rather than an overlay like web browsers use (at the bottom of the window), I think it would be OK to show a tooltip with the link destination when hovering over these links. Would that be easier to implement?
Sure, that would be fine. Better than the status quo, at least.
