Thanks for the idea. I'm all up for twitter doing less creepy tracking, indeed
TwitRSS does already unwrap the link in the text of the tweet as per #10, so at least Twitter can't track clicks on those links.
As it stands the link refers to the original tweet on twitter rather than the link that was shared in the body of the tweet. To my mind this is what you'd expect, say from an RSS feed for a blog or website (and that was how twitter's own feeds used to work before they axed them). You want to be able to click on one of the feed items and end up at the original source.
Also:
if you tweet something that contains no link, it wouldn't be clear where the link in the feed should go.
If you tweet something containing multiple links, you'd have to rely on convention to decide which one should become the link (eg. choose the first). People would almost undoubtedly get confused and expect a different link to be used than the one we chose.
If you wanted to find the original tweet, I guess you'd have to do something like copy/paste the text into twitter's search or something, which would be annoying.
I'll leave this ticket open for a bit to see if anyone else wants to chip in.
