Preview custom text in fonts.google.com by URL

Question

Occasionally found this type of link (Google Fonts Previewer undocumented feature?) - search with query:

https://fonts.google.com/selection?query=some+search+text&selection.family=Archivo+Black|Asul|Cardo

It gives a list of fonts, but preview-test-text must be entered in the input box.

Is it possible to put custom text in URL (i.e. basically - to generate a preview with the link) to view how it looks in https://fonts.google.com/?

Maybe some kind of:

https://fonts.google.com/selection?query=search+text&selection.family=Archivo+Black|Asul|Cardo&preview=Some+Custom+Text+for+Preview

this is not possible to achieve and also its unwise for google to provide such "luxury" coz it would bloat them — user0, Jul 16, 2018 at 5:33
