The point of this is that it’s a redirect. The link isn’t taking you to xyz.com, it’s going to abc.com which redirects to xyz.com. The abc.com server redirects to the second link – there’s no way to know where it’ll take you unless you follow it.
It could only know that by navigating to the link in the background. That would have side effects, like them being able to track you even when you don’t click on links.
