Somebody correct me, but I remember a url (or any long piece of text) can contain a small image. I think it was hexadecimal code. I was looking for the words "base16=" or "base32=".

You are correct those are called "data urls", they're intended to embed files in text.

This is not a data url tho, it's an ugly link
