Allow Link Buttons on Webhooks

[naomi-lgbt]

Hey friends,

I was hoping we could allow Button components of type 5 (link buttons) to be sent to non-bot webhooks. Currently they are stripped from the result when I POST them.

I believe it was mentioned in the DDev server that this is intentional behaviour for consistency, because components in general require interactivity. However, it is already documented that link buttons do not send an interaction payload to the bot/server endpoint, so IMHO this is a moot point - link buttons are already inconsistent with other buttons and are not interactive.

My intended use case is as such:

I have a series of webhooks that pipe various off-platform activity into my Discord server for notifications - one such example is a Twitter monitor.

It would be nice if, instead of including relevant links in the embed, I could pass Link Buttons and render them separately:

This is now possible with ?with_components=true! #7368
