Is there a reliable way to check if a link is safe before clicking it?

between work emails, texts, and group chats i deal with a lot of links and im never fully sure which are safe. hovering to read the url helps a bit but the lookalike domains are getting really hard to spot, and on mobile i cant hover at all.

what i currently do: hover on desktop to check the domain, and sometimes paste suspicious ones into virustotal. but virustotal feels clunky for everyday use and i dont always trust a "clean" result. is there a more reliable workflow?
