    I’m not really sure there is a satisfying answer here other than making a setting for it. If I disable this feature outright then ip addresses will not show up as links. If I enable it then you get the issue you see. In either case I would assume that this is a pretty rare case. I’ll add it to the road map.

        I’m not sure if you know this but a lot of websites are accessible by their IP address. As an example 1.1.1.1. It’s definitely a niche use case but it sometimes happens because sometimes a website doesn’t have a domain name or in cases where there are DNS issues. Another use case is linking to a local host. Eg. 192.168.1.1 which is commonly used for a router or 127.0.0.1 which is called a loopback IP.
