if im not mistaken, when you hover over the link to a post you just see the beginning of the post, right? this sometimes is not very useful. maybe you could give post creators another text field (“thumbnail”/”preview”/”tl;dr”) where they can explicitly fill in what should be shown when hovering over the link. this field should probably be character limited then. this text should be displayed at the top of the post, too. (and if posters dont fill it out it could just fall back to showing the beginning of the post).
What you describe is almost exactly identical to an admin feature that we have from LessWrong. Which isn’t much help to you yet, but might get released more widely.
