Could you elaborate on this please, for clarity?
The application has settings to hide links, allowing differentiation between external links (off to other sites) and internal links (to your own site). The internal links functionality has an additional setting which can hide any embedded links (I believe that is what you are referring to as a 'small card') too - so if, for example, you had internal links and embeds hidden to Guests then when a guest reads a topic/post containing an embedded internal link then it is hidden to them.
I think you are asking for a change to how this works, but I would like you to clarify it please. Maybe include a use-case for what you are asking?
