Hyperlink Markdown
Now that Discord has the feature where it warns you when clicking an unidentified link, maybe it could be used to protect people who click on a Hyperlink.
A hyperlink is obviously like this, and it would be cool if we could embed a link in text so we don't have to clutter our posts with long links. Since Discord has the feature that warns you when heading towards an unidentified URL or domain, this could be used when people click on a hyperlink for security reasons.
It's been two years now, and Discord has been using Markdown for a while, so I'm quite surprised this is not in for normal member messages, considering bot embeds has it.

This is so frustrating. Why won't Discord implement this?

Has this feature been added yet?

I don't get how this is not a high priority regarding the amount of votes this thread has. Especially since Bots are allowed to do this, but not humans directly.

Yes please!!!

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

this is getting frequent new votes and is fairly active how is it not implemented yet?
2 -
This needs to be added! I'm surprised it isn't especially seeing how many votes and comments there are.

Please add this thing!!! Maybe HTML support? Or at least full markdown support...
I can insert link in this comment, but I can not in my messages, WHAT???4 -
It's been years since my last comment and this feature isn't implemented yet. But you can have a per-server profile picture! Priorities... /facepalm

Fun fact: bots now support this exact feature in interactions... why can't users do that too??

+1 to “please add this feature!”

Well since there's no way to unsubscribe from this, or turn off future emails, I guess I'm just going to send all zendesk straight to the trash.

Please add this feature, I can't believe it still isn't implemented

Basic stuff that Discord should have had from the get go.

Alright, beyond the OP's main desires, this is by far the least harmful thing that could be implemented. I myself have developed a mailto link that is a basic form for our end users to fill out when making a request.
One very simple caviat, if supported - I am 100% okay with the inability to mask the link with any text. Folks should be able to see the huge link in its entirety, and if you possess the understanding anyone can decipher the code fairly quickly.

Come on Discord, this topic has been opened 2 years ago. You made per-server PfPs, but you can't make hyperlinks ? That's a little bit weird. Just add a pop-up that shows you the real link when you click on the hyperlink, so that users won't go on phishing websites or other scam like this. This pop-up is already implemented, when you click on a link to a website you never went before

How is this still not a feature?

Hi discord,
Since you guys still haven't made this I decided to make the base regex parser. Maybe that'd be a motivation boost to actually make this.
(?<!\\)\[(.*?)(?<!\\)]\((.*?)\)

yes PLEASE

how come hyperlinks are not integrated in Discord?
1 -
My best guess would be "security risks", but there's plenty of ways around that

Without this capability we are less safe. We are forced to use sites like tinyurl instead which obscures the true website even more! Please fix this security hole.
