Description

Formatting chat text is very limited. Adding the ability to format links, in the manner of markdown, would be helpful. E.g.

```
[a link to google](https://www.google.com)
```

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the chat client’s text-rendering and link-formatting entry points, then determine how chat text is parsed and displayed. Done means the example [a link to google](https://www.google.com) renders as a clickable link in chat.
