The way Apple iMessages does this is to have the user opt-in to each preview (it shows a grey box with a button to build a preview).

Not much different if users learn to always tap to generate the preview out of habit.

Yes, but you get the benefit of getting to see the domain before deciding whether you want to show a preview.
