Currently when you paste a link to a Google Doc, it converts it to a box that appears similar to an uploaded document. However, it doesn't provide any option for an inline preview like you can for a PDF and ultimately it is just a fancy link to the Google Doc.
I have experienced unintended consequences from this when I use the Google Doc as a hyperlink with set anchor text. For example, often I may highlight certain words and add a link to the Google Doc. Once set up, it initially works as expected/intended. However, if I cut and paste that text into another note or another area of the note, when pasting it converts those links to the embeded box and I lose my anchor text.
Here is a before screenshot, showing an example where I pasted a URL on the first bullet point that converted to the embeded "SK Escrow Status 10/12/2020" box. However, the other blue hyperlinks ("MT Open Balances..." and "Other Open Balance..." are hyperlinks to specific tabs on that Google Sheet:
When I copy these rows and paste them into another area of the note, here is what I end up with (not what I want):
