URL as template literal?

Guil called a URL that was referenced inside a template literal... wouldn't a URL in a template literal as regular text just be recognized as a string/regular text?? How can the function recognize it as a link?

I'd go with,

let url = `https://website.com`

We know that a template literal uses backticks instead of a regular string which uses quotation '
I think the compiler or whatever is set so when there is backtick it knows to look for the template literal syntax ${}
