The Link Preview widget is a data visualization tool used to display links in card format. It allows users to quickly view key information about a link without having to click on it, making it a useful tool to directly see which websites contribute more to the total dataset.

The card typically displays the link's title, along with a thumbnail image, a brief description of the site, and the data of plotted metrics e.g. Mentions, Reach, etc. The cards are created by combining the results based on the plotted metric in order.
