The OGL does not require a link. It simply requires a copy of the OGL with the materials. Could that be included as a racial or class feature that is hidden from the builder but present in the description perhaps?
EDIT: For clarification: yes, I am referring to publishing public homebrew. The idea here is to get more members of the community using some open game content materials without violating the copyright of those settings (i.e. pulling out the relevant product identity)
Can Open Game Content be included in Homebrew if the description includes a link to the OGL and the appropriate updates to article 15?

You can create any homebrew you like for your own use, or shared within campaigns you are part of.
If you're asking about publishing homebrew on D&D Beyond, please note that you cannot publish homebrew that contains links.
If the license for the content you wish to homebrew requires you to include a link, that means you may not publish it as homebrew on D&D Beyond.
I hope that helps?

It does, to a degree.
