You can't falsify the browser indicators of link targets (status bar on desktop, modal dialog from holding down the link on mobile) without JavaScript.

You can create a misleading tooltip in HTML: <a href="https://www.megabank.com.phishingattempt.io" title="https://www.megabank.com">https://www.megabank.com</a>. But since modern browsers don't use tooltips to indicate link targets, users probably won't be looking there in the first place.
