I think you can achieve what you want by:
- Use the document library option you mentioned above. Create your links using the "Link" content type which gives you the strange ".url" ending

- You won't see the ".url" extension, just the link title

Thomas Berman Hi Thomas, tx for your incredible fast response. The Highlighted Content web part is indeed delivering a better result. 1 small challenge left, in front of each link it shows a little 'web icon'. Would it be possible to hide that as well. Tx in advance.

Yeah that icon is super annoying. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a supported way to get rid of it.

Thomas Bermanforgot to mention, the Document Library web part has also a 'See all' link which comes in handy when there are more links to show.
