Having said that, I have a few other recommendations.

1) You seem to have duplicated the entire set of measures that are getting the feed and extracting it into child measures in your code. This isn't fatal, as only the first set is actually processed, but it's really, really confusing.

2) Don't use !Execute on bangs. It was deprecated years ago, and should not be used. https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs/#Execute

3) Don't preface bang names with !Rainmeter. It was deprecated years ago, and should not be used. https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/bangs/#Rainmeter

LeftMouseDownAction=!execute [!RainmeterShowMeter FeedOutputLink1][!RainmeterHideMeter FeedOutputText1]

LeftMouseDownAction=[!ShowMeter FeedOutputLink1][!HideMeter FeedOutputText1]

4) Don't use Substitute on "parent" WebParser measures, it is only effective on "child" WebParser measures. The value of a "parent" WebParser measure is only internally used by the measure to obtain the values for the "child" measures, and is never in and of itself displayed in a meter. Substitutions are done when the value is "used" as a string. A "parent" measure's value never is.

5) WebParser is no longer a "plugin", but a "measure". https://docs.rainmeter.net/manual/measures/webparser/#NotAPlugin
