Create a whatsapp group and add one person, then inmediatly kick out that person from the group. Then you have a group for just yourself. Call it "links" group.

Use this group to paste links. On the desktop use https://web.whatsapp.com/ to access those links.

You can also send files this way. I often use Whatsapp Web to send PDFs to my SO. Probably safer than email due to the possible encryption.

I just add myself as a contact and send links to myself. No groups needed.

This can be replicated for Telegram, Facebook or any other IMs too.

On Telegram you don’t even need to create a group, you can just use “Saved Messages”.
