What ways can i still add links or links to video in listings thats allowed?

I am selling products that i need to provide datasheet links for on the listing to view the full specifications, also other products dont have quantifiable specifications so can only be demonstrated in video. Is there any way still that i can add links to datasheets or links to videos (like even if it opens in new tab or something or isnt a clickable link so people have to copy/paste to url browser) that is compliant with the current 2019 policies?

The only thing you have to watch out for is whether or not there are

any links lurking around the video.
