Add Hyperlink to Macros

What I am saying is that you could type in a hyperlink into the macro so that when the macro is used, it will have a click-able link that would open another tab to the linked site. This could be a temporary solution allowing the gm or players to quickly reference spells, feats or abilities from any game system. I would also like it if you could link them up to handouts aswell.

This is doable via the api. I've added it as part of my PowerCards script.

Isn't this already allowed? You can't hyperlink text, but you can use URL's.

I understand that you can type out URL addresses, but it kind of looks messy, by including hyperlinks, the chat long looks cleaner... Can't argue with that. There's a suggestion to add basic html to chat that would probably solve the "messy" url problem. Basic HTML/other formatting output to chat

I believe this is currently being tested on the Dev. (basic markup for chat, including adding url hyperlinks) and will probably be included in the Update of Holding soon to be released.
