/direct gives the ability to spit raw HTML to the chat, which is awesome. /w <user> mostly lets you do that as well, but I've noticed some slight annoying differences. In particular with links. /direct will let you send a link to the chat that can be clicked to load some resource. /w <user> seems to be stripping out the url from those links. Is there any way around that? I'm building some scripts that I would very much like to whisper links in. I can just whisper the URLs and click those, but that is very ugly in comparison to what could be done. Help!?
