The links produced by Pandoc should have a named character style applied to
them. Follow the instructions at

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/customize-or-create-new-styles-d38d6e47-f6fc-48eb-a607-1eb120dec563

for Word or

https://documentation.libreoffice.org/assets/Uploads/Documentation/en/GS5.2/HTML/GS5203-StylesAndTemplates.html

for LibreOffice

and modify that style however you like *without renaming* it, then use that
file as reference document when you run pandoc as described in the manual

https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#option--reference-doc

There is a wiki page which I started once upon a time. It should still be
relevant
