Auto Block Feature

[Ruchika4]

We know that auto block feature replaces any link with certain urls such as instagram urls replaced with blocks. Is there a way to avoid this from happening if we want this to not happen and link a button to the instagram urls? If yes, is it advisable to do that?

Is there a concrete use-case/requirement where you would need this?

I currently don't have a use case but I remember one of the author was trying to configure instagram url in a button

Though I do see the need for wanting to disable auto-block feature for the sake of simply displaying a link as opposed to replacing it entirely with an (auto)block.

I think we should implement #_dnb (do not block) for these scenarios. It could be placed in the decorateLinks function.

That's a great idea Chris. I can work on implementing it.
