Research direction

Start by locating the API response rendering entry point and checking how post permalinks and _links fields are currently displayed. Confirm the v1 API equivalent and the intended styling, then verify that supported URLs become clickable links in responses; opening a new console request is an additional behavior to clarify.

Description

enhancement

We should detect links in API responses and make them into clickable <a> tags with appropriate styling. A couple examples:

  • Post permalinks
  • API URLs under _links and whatever the v1 API equivalent is (it would be really cool to make these links open a new request in the console)
