There are tokens other than %s various data types/formatting see the docs for format for more information.

addon.db = {

-- Code to replace %s in announce texts with item links. Replaces the GetItemLinkById(...) function
local function LoadItem(item)
    for k, v in pairs(addon.db[item.dbID].announce) do -- replace the %s with the itemlink in eal locale in the .announce key
        addon.db[item.dbID].announce[k] = format(v, item:GetItemLink())
    end
end
for i, v in ipairs(addon.db) do
    local item = Item:CreateFromItemID(v.item) 
    item.dbID = i
    item:ContinueOnItemLoad(function() LoadItem(item) end)
end

I tried this but it didn't work
