Shorten card links to be the card number + title

Currently posting a link to a card in slack or email presents a rather lengthy URL.
for example: "https://favro.com/company name/a bunch of numbers and letters/the card number"
It would be awesome if there was a way to copy a card link and when you paste it elsewhere, it shows up in a more concise format, such as:
"card number: title of card"
This will help when we need to post a lot of links at once, and you can quickly see at a glance without clicking into the URL what the card is.

Forgot to mention that where it would say "card number: title of card", the card number could be the hyperlink to the card itself.

Nadia: we do have Slack integration that provides the link unfurling, where you can see the content of the card inside Slack. More info can be found here:

Is that what you are looking for?

Dovidas Baranauskas: Hey Dovidas! Yeah - I've got that slack integration, however I think what I'm looking for is something that would be easier to view if I were to post a dozen links in slack, for example.
The slack integration is great if I'm posting a singular link, but sometimes all I want to quickly see is just the title of the item being linked.

Nadia: That's something we've been looking for as well. When having a few cards linked on another card, showing the card titles would be absolutely helpful. Either right away or at least when hovering over the link.
Please note: this is meant for within favro itself.

Simon Kranz: yeah, this would be very good. Right now attaching a favro card to another one has that big, bulky attachment that propagates to both cards, doesn’t allow for an easy single-click link to the attached card, and doesn’t allow for a condensed view with descriptions.
To accomplish what you’ve shown above, you have to manually go through the multi-click barrier to get the card link, write the text, hit the “link” button, then paste the favro link.
You honestly should be able to natively link a favro card without the large preview and in a way that allows for formatting and easy following of the link. Notion does this by asking if you want to embed a mentioned/linked page or just give the hyperlink itself - and then gives you the option to edit the text.
It seems it would be best if we could natively attach a card with options for:
a) card id only
b) condensed (card id and title)
c) full information (current implementation + better linking when clicked)
