Description

The hover cards in VS Code ("diagnostics") contain links for more information, but they're just text (not clickable). It looks like microsoft/vscode/#11847 is fixed in master; once it lands in a release, we should be able to make those links clickable.

Research direction

First verify that microsoft/vscode/#11847 has landed in a released VS Code version. Then locate the DevSkim VS Code diagnostic hover integration and determine how its informational links are rendered; done means those links are clickable in the diagnostic popup and the behavior is covered by the relevant existing checks, if any.
