The link as GET /v1/view-links lists it: whether it still opens its sheet (status), when it expires or was withdrawn, how often it was opened. Never its viewUrl. Another workspace’s link, a deleted job’s, or an id nobody issued is 404 not_found. A live key acting as the workspace’s owner or an admin.
