- Behavior
An inline link that reveals contribution context in a preview without hiding the destination URL. At rest the label and href stay readable; on hover or focus a compact preview appears beside the link.
- Interaction
Fine pointer hover and keyboard focus-visible open the preview. Coarse touch relies on the destination page for full context — never require hover-only meaning.
- Controls
Hover or focus the link to open the preview; Escape or blur closes it. Follow the link to leave the specimen.
- Motion & sound
Instant show/hide with optional hover/open sound cues when site sound is unmuted. Reduced motion skips decorative motion only.
- Learnings
Context belongs next to the label; the preview must never cover the focused text or invent destination meaning.
- Source
Production pattern: site `PreviewLink` (`@/components/site/preview-link`). Lab mounts a local specimen with the same props contract. Prefer explicit blurbs over hover-only copy.
