Tweet links

I don't understand the rules for displaying of links [link] inside tweets.

As far as I have observed, there are multiple cases of tweets in Tweetz:

• a tweet without any [link] - those are tweets which doesn't contain any external link
• a tweet with a single [link] - it's usually a tweet with an external link so [link] points to that external link but I have also observed tweets with an external link where [link] points to the tweet URL, e.g. this one
• a tweet with multiple [link]s - I guess it's when a tweet contains both an external link and a photo, in this case it would be good to visually differentiate them so you don't have to wait for a link hint

Also, wouldn't it be better to keep link as it is in a tweet rather than replacing it with the [link] placeholder?

[link] is if for anything that shows up in the links or media portions of the twitter payload. I don't show the links because they take up screen real estate. The [link] form has been in the program for years now. I'm loathed to change it but I could see differentiating link/photo.

I see the issue with the photo links now. Looks like twitter has changed photo links to go directly to the twitter post. I'll just drop the photo links, but not when inline media is turned off.
