template literal

Can we use template literal to rewrite that code to this somehow?Its not working for me so how would be the syntax with the atrr if even possible? : 

  const  $url = `${link}.${attr('href')}`;

There really isn't an opportunity to use interpolation here, the only string on this line is the literal 'href'. No variables or expressions are being converted into string form.

I suppose you could put the entire thing in a template string; but that seems kind of silly, since the expression yields a string value already:

const $url = `${$(link).attr('href')}`;  // silly use of template string

Also "$url" is a questionable name for this variable, since it contains a string and not a jQuery object.
