This would require add-on.

Note that Org does not have to follow GNU package requirements. Org mode is not a GNU package after all. But it is still a good idea to try our best and see if it is feasible. What about providing JS-free link as an additional alternative; not fully replacing the original youtube/reddit/github link? > P.S. E.g.
