I often find myself accidentally following the link of a post when I want to open the post and see the comments, rather than opening the post itself. That's because on my Voyager feed the post image is 95% of the post, and the title is a bit smaller.

Some people may prefer not to engage with the comments, but I would like an optional toggle to make any engagement with the post and the feed open the post itself.

For images, when touching the image makes the image bigger. This is no big deal. I just open the post. But when it opens an external web browser, the friction of going backwards is annoying.

Also a good option for the compact view. When I browse with my left hand, I sometimes open the link instead of the post because that's where my thumb is.
