So if its just a URL without the []() syntax it would be, perhaps green, and links with it could stay blue. Good semantic to avoid spam or malware links.

Anyway, have any of you seen today's XKCD? https://xkcd.com/3104

For that you strip the string to be tested of all non-ASCII chars before you run the regex.

But I see what you mean. I just fear that if links could be shown in different equally non-threatening colors users wouldn't know what to do with that information.

Okay, what if I use unicode characters that look similar to httрѕ://хkсd.соm/ and the function sees that an empty string is not a URL.

Yeah, I think the link preview is the only real solution. Like you said, best shown under the same paragraph.
