How to turn off link previews on Paper?

Hello everyone, I created a doc called "links". When I copy my links to doc, I want to see only URLs, not thumbnails. Is this possible?

    Not at the moment Bradloff - I'll be passing this on to our team though for their consideration. Thanks so much for your valuable feedback and helping us improve Paper!

    In the meantime, you can use a code block [by entering three backticks (```) to start, and then paste your URL into the block]  to paste your links into a Paper doc as text only. 

    I know it's not optimal yet I sure hope it helps to some extent. 

    Let me know if you have any more questions or feedback and happy new Year too!

I asked their support to make it optional as well -- but it seems a very low priority to them. I think they do understand that UX is bad. However, you will notice that they turned all links you pasted in as a redirection -- which means that Dropbox might track your clicks through that functionality. If you can switch it off by default, they can no longer track you.
