Remove Icon on Hyper link in Forms

Jacob Feldman
Forms automatically display icons for certain field types, but they often appear cluttered or unclear (e.g., SharePoint icon as "S", email as "N").
Customers should have an option to disable these icons in form views for a cleaner, more professional look.
would like the ability to remove the icons that show by default when I use hyperlinks on forms. My team is using a lot of them and it is distracting when we have many links in the same sentence.

Hey Jacob Feldman, thanks for your feedback! Following up on this:
- What specific types of forms or applications are you using where these icons appear?
- How frequently do you encounter this issue, and in what context (e.g., internal use, client-facing)?
- Would you prefer an option to toggle these icons on and off, or should they be removed entirely?

Jon Darbyshire Hi Jon - I run project management processes for a university instructional design team, handling 4-500+ requests a year through this form. The intake form we use contains a lot of descriptive links, and as the screenshot shows, the link icons are quite distracting to the reading experience. They also pull the letter "S" for sharepoint sites, and "N" for emails, which overall ends up giving an unpolished look.
This is internal, insofar as this within the university, but in that context, this is a client facing intake form. Our dept uses this form to intake design projects for faculty.
Toggle is fine! For some people, I can see how this might be a desirable feature. Let me know if I can tell you more.
