.onion URL via text message (lemmy.sdf.org)

When I text only a functional .onion URL to an iMessage recipient, Apple is somehow able to add the correct favicon/apple-touch-icon to the message despite the fact that the content should not be accessible at all to anyone when I’m connected to my provider or my home WiFi.

What have I missed here?

This is exactly how Apple and almost all messaging apps work for almost all http: and https:. But there are no Apple-developed TOR-protocol products.

Apple has easy access to Google’s icon if I message a link to, say, https://google.com/; how can Apple emulate that behavior if I message a link to http://fully-functional-domain-with-identifiable-branding.onion/?
