  My attempts at adding a pingback via a hidden link, appear flawed and show up as a fully exposed blue typed row or rows of address. Before we changed to blocks, all the type was concealed. and I would just link tidily to one or two words eg:
  press here. how can I do that now, with blocks?

  Hi there,

  Of what site are you speaking, and where exactly, on which post/page, are you trying to add a link?

  Adding links in the block editor works exactly the same as in the classic editor – type the text you want to be visible on your site in a paragraph block, highlight the text, and paste the link. Alternatively you can highlight the text and click the link icon in the paragraph block toolbar.

  I have a wordpress free blog and often link to another blog and the link stays on show I can not seem to hide it. Like on this post. https://ellenbest24.wordpress.com/2020/05/02/my-tits-looked-at-my-bottom/
  P.S. I am a writer and this is a humerous post not a vulgar one.

  As @kokkieh mentioned, adding a link to your post with blocks works exactly the same as in the Classic Editor, you would type the word you want to link, highlight it and click on the link icon:

  

  I hope that helps :)

  Thank you, I thought that was what I had done But I obviously missed a step. I will try again.
