tWhen Xray is retrieving a permalink from a silo / social media service such as Twitter, it should look for an original post link starting with a simplified version of the original post discovery algorithm to start with.
Simplified algorithm: if there is a URL at the end of the content (trimming trailing whitespace, and close paranthesis/bracket if any), and that URL is on the same site as the "website" field of the silo profile of the requested permalink, then return that URL as original-post-url in the return result.
