However, this format of message doesn't translate well d->m, when Matrix users see a named link and have to click it or get their client to URL preview.

Before processing user-supplied message content, emoji links should be converted to emoji format so that they can be sent as Matrix inline custom emoji.

Certain client mods (Vencord has been pointed out to me) can convert emoji that are unavailable to the user to links on the end of messages, allowing them to be viewed. (This is similar to OOYE's sprite sheet emoji feature.) However, this format of message doesn't translate well d->m, when Matrix users see a named link and have to click it or get their client to URL preview. Before processing user-supplied message `content`, emoji links should be converted to emoji format so that they can be sent as Matrix inline custom emoji.
