Description

@neiljp

This is a follow-up to #1282. This likely needs a good understanding of what ZT does with links, messages, etc. in order to do well, so is possibly not a good first issue.

This refers to the https://github.com/zulip/zulip-terminal/blob/main/docs/FAQ.md#how-do-links-in-messages-work-what-are-footlinks section of the FAQ document.

It's important to note that 'link' as used here refers to any non-text object that we can't (or potentially choose not to) display inline. It may be clearer to express the main point in that way.

A good direct follow-up to this would be to consider ways to restructure this information to make the definition of 'link' more clear (as well as use consistent terms for the 'text' and 'location', to make them easier to refer to?), as well as expose the 'I want to open an attachment' type questions, which may be better expressed as separate FAQ entries which redirect to a link subsection?
