I think there is space for images, but they should be carefully considered. They should add to the overall text.

I provide additional features for users, one is TTS so that they can listen to the article. Another feature is a little icon that appears for links that are external to the website.

I have recently come around to the idea of adding a banner image, as a way of tone setting for the text to come.

It sounds like you are adding things with care and thought, but is there a reason the user might care that the link is to an external site?

Because the trust associated with my site and domain doesn't necessarily extend to another. The user should know that they are navigating away from the trust I have earned with them.

Could you expand further on why you propose this?

As I said in the other comment [1], I can't extend the trust associated with my site to other sites not under my control.
