Please stop complaining about downvotes.
ronjouch explains how it's not really possible to stop this form of tracking below. In order to unmask the URL, you need to pretty much visit the URL, which registers the tracking data, so even if you, as a user, gets a stripped URL that's safe to use, you will still have effectively clicked the link.

Unmasking (by the sender or a trusted intermediary, such as Tor) removes the risk of leaking the sender data to the (transitive) recipient
