How to embed 'read-more' like url in Standard Card response of Alexa

I have seen few apps which are able to embed links in the response of Standard card in Alexa. for eg :: see the skill : https://www.amazon.co.uk/Guardian-News-Media-The-US/dp/B01N5HQRUC

They are able to show the links in the standard card response. Something like this

The documentation of the Alexa skills does not say anything about urls in the card response.

Looks like it is a special skill called Flash Briefing skill. Though feed skill is still rendering as standard card, Amazon has not made embedding a link in the card response in custom skill available to public.

check the documentation: alexa documentation

alexa console for configuring the feed-skill

See this link. In the table there is something called display Url which will be rendered as the read more link in the card.

That's not actually a "Standard Card" as you may understand it in the ASK sense - it's the text display of a Flash Briefing. Flash Briefing skills have always allowed for a "Read More" link. There's still no way to do it via custom skills, though.
