Tests:

Procedural Element creation
var el = document.createElement('link'); el.id='ZInject_CSS_zinject_regexr'; el.type='text/css'; el.rel='stylesheet'; el.dataset.srcprop='href'; el.dataset.src='standalone/reddit/zinject.reddit.css'; el.async = true; el.defer = true; return el;
jQuery Element creation
return $(`<link id="zinject_reddit_css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" async="" defer="" data-srcprop="href" data-src="standalone/reddit/zinject.reddit.css">`);
Custom Method
return document.CreateElementFromHTML(`<link id="zinject_reddit_css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" async="" defer="" data-srcprop="href" data-src="standalone/reddit/zinject.reddit.css">`);
