Nice. I'll give it a try when I get to my primary PC.
Journalists have a bad habit of linking to tweets which are often ephemeral because accounts are deleted, tweets are deleted, or accounts go private.
Another problem is where publishers themselves change the open graph meta (or whatever it's called) after a tweet has been published. One memorable example (for me) is where Washington Post changed the image on an article about Alexandria Ocasio Cortez's Jewish heritage depicting her with her hands clasped similar to the Happy Merchant meme[0]. Obviously they realized the resemblance enough to change the image, but didn't comment on it. If you look at the original tweet[1] now, you can see the replies look completely out of context because they changed it.
