Secure Notes Markdown links

Hello,
I am trying to get links working in my Secure Note with Markdown.
Normally that works with:
Linking to [Page](Hyperlink).

My issue is that the Hyper link is still visible in the Note. The result would look like this:
Linking to Page (Hyperlink)
and not like with any other Markdown:
Linking to Page.

Due to me using pretty long links it is hard to read the rest.

Would it be possible to add the default Markdown link behavior to Secure Notes?
Or am I missing something?

Tanks a lot!

    Hello @ogamingSCV! 👋

    Thank you for the suggestion. I believe that this is by design due to security reasons. Link formatting of that sort could be used to hide the true destination of a link. For example:

    https://1password.community/

    The above link looks like it goes to 1Password.community but it actually goes to 1Password.com. In a browser you can see the actual destination if you hover over the link but that same functionality does not exist in the 1Password app.

    That being said, I've passed along your request to the team so that they can see if there is a way to implement links of this sort in a safe manner. Thank you for the feedback!

    Hey @Dave_1P,

    Tanks for the reply!

    That actually makes sense from a security and safety standpoint.
    But is that also necessary for a note that I create myself?
    In a normal use case it is only meant for me or chosen people I trust with the information.

    Also thank you for forwarding my request. Maybe there is a way to first show a pop up with the url after clicking the link.

    Thanks :)

    Those are good points, I've passed them along to the team as well. Thanks again for the feedback!

    +1 Rendering links in Markdown is sorely needed. Currently, the whole URL is shown which makes notes unreadable.

    As for the "security reasons" argument, 1Password could show the URL on hover just like the browser. This is not a reason to not render links in Markdown.

    This is also very useful if I want to have links to other 1Password items.

    I would like to format links like this (using OP's example):

    Linking to [Item](op://Personal/<id>)
    
    (doesn't work)
    

    One option is to use "Private link" to an item which becomes "https://start.1password.com..." which is opening in a browser.

    But if I simply use "op://" links in Secure notes - they are not clickable at all.

    I'll let the team know you'd like to see links supported in our Markdown formatting.

    Would it be possible to support Markdown syntax for URL's in notes, for example, 1Password Community would show as a the clickable text "1Password Community".
