One agreed reaction can cue a short link lookup and make the next step easier to pick up.
Trigger

A request buried in chat can slip past when link research has to be restarted from memory later.
- Creates a repeatable cue for link follow-up.
- Reduces the need to remember a separate dashboard task.
- Keeps the latest URL information near the triggering message.
