You can also see some dotting/dashing in the link on the page to the Butterick book.

I have a hunch using a faded color for the (possibly-then-thicker) underline would work better - the foreground descenders would retain distinction, without the noise of dotty/dashy line-ends.

Thanks for the suggestion. We’ll be taking a crack at descender-heavy links [1], so this may come in handy!
