Shorten or customise a URL in YouTube video description?

Is there a way to add renamed or shortened URL's to your Youtube description? i.e. I create my description in Word, rename it to something shorter with a hyperlink. E.g. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/175454556. So for example I type "You can purchase this tool on Ebay", with the word Ebay clickable in Word with that Hyperlink. Then I copy all this text over to the description of a youtube video. Clearly at present this doesn't work as I have tried it, but is there a workaround because A) I don't want superlong hyperlinks in my description, and B) it's doubling my work.

Alternatively I could just copy the text, and then re-add the hyperlink to the word "Ebay" in the Youtube video description, but again, I don't know how to do this.



Is it it perhaps an option with YouTube Premium?
