How to change the redirect after linking a social provider?

I'm having a hard time figuring out how I can tell better-auth to redirect to, let's say, /dashboard/connections/discord after a user links their Discord account to their main account via: 
<button
  onclick={async () =>
    await authClient.linkSocial({
      provider: "discord"
    })}>
  Link Discord Account
</button>
<button
  onclick={async () =>
    await authClient.linkSocial({
      provider: "discord"
    })}>
  Link Discord Account
</button>
Currently, after linking a Discord account, better-auth redirects the user to the home page (/), which is weird and very bad UX, as the linking initiated on /dashboard/connections/discord, a user would assume that they get back to the same page after going through the linking process. src/lib/server/auth.ts: 
// ...
  account: {
    accountLinking: {
      trustedProviders: ["discord"],
      allowDifferentEmails: true
    }
  },
  socialProviders: {
    discord: {
      clientId: DISCORD_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
      scope: ["identify"],
      disableSignUp: true,
      disableDefaultScope: true,
      disableImplicitSignUp: true,
      enabled: true
    }
  },
// ...
// ...
  account: {
    accountLinking: {
      trustedProviders: ["discord"],
      allowDifferentEmails: true
    }
  },
  socialProviders: {
    discord: {
      clientId: DISCORD_CLIENT_ID as string,
      clientSecret: DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET as string,
      scope: ["identify"],
      disableSignUp: true,
      disableDefaultScope: true,
      disableImplicitSignUp: true,
      enabled: true
    }
  },
// ...
Solution:
You can pass in a callback url with the provider like await authClient.linkSocial({ provider: "discord", callbackURL: "/dashboard/connections/discord"...

I thought the callback url was for the callback with the codes itself, hence the name? Not to change where the user ends up. I’ll give that a go then, thanks!
