Always force URL pastes into the box format

Hi!

I like that when I paste a URL into Lucidspark, it creates a thumbnail box.

But, if for some reason the URL doesn’t convert into a box, it instead makes long and narrow text box that is completely different to the thumbnail box.

It would be great that, if a URL fails to create a thumbnail, it still conforms to the more square box, else I have very long URLs in text boxes that sit very awkwardly with the other URL boxes. 

Converting the URL to a box doesn’t work as the text doesn’t wrap. And using a frame is not good as I use frames to segment groups of boxes, so using a frame for just tone box creates a confusing visual language.

If URLs always defaulted to a thumbnail box, even if they only have the URL text, that would be great for flow and organisation.

I would want to see any URL pasted into a board to automatically wrap inside the object into which it was pasted, such as a sticky note. Similar to how Miro operates, where any pasted text wraps inside the pasted item, be it a note, a text box or object. This creates a much cleaner view and an easier time adding info into smaller objects to allow for reference links.
