No, as the URL of a link is not displayed at all in the HTML preview. However, if you switch to plain text preview (either permanently using the toolbar popup menu, or temporarily by option-clicking the found file in the result list), then a header shows all the indexed metadata and yes, the found URL will be highlighted in this header. But there will be no indication of the display name of the URL, or of its location in the document.
A different implementation would be to insert the URL into the plain text content, after the link name (e.g. between brackets); however I don't think this should be the default behavior, and there are already too many advanced settings.

1. I think it would make sense to embed the url into the plain text content, because the url IS part of the plain text content. If we were to open the html file in a plain text editor, the url is clearly visible. This is actually a value added feature I would pay for in upgrades, because I have quite a few html files, and I didn't realize that their url contents have been unsearchable until now. However, I understand that perhaps this could confuse some people.
2. If it takes only a bit more effort to embed the url, then I would vote for that. But if it's going to be very complex and error prone, then I would rather have the original proposed solution (index the url's only as metadata).
Thanks for your considerations on this issue.
