If describing the destination of a link is a potential violation, I would be very nervous about anything qualifying as fair use — as I said, any use I can think of for a headline should either qualify as fair (if it's for the purpose of identifying the article) or be almost impossible to establish as an intentional infringement in most cases due to the fact that it's five-ish tightly constrained words.
