Yes exactly :) Most clients should support it like that. When in doubt, just use the exclamation point

Additional info:

Some apps will also autocomplete while typing it in, which makes it easier for people on other platforms (ex. Mastodon) to be able to use the link.

For example, here are two versions of the link (with the formatting in this format so you know what to type)

Plain typed link: !communityPromo@lemmy.ca

!communityPromo@lemmy.ca

Auto completed link: !communitypromo@lemmy.ca [!communitypromo@lemmy.ca](https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo)

So if you have the option to use auto complete, it might be a bit better. Often I just do the first one
