Research direction

Start by inspecting how the bridge handles Slack message URLs and whether it maintains a Slack-channel-to-Matrix-room map. Done means either internal Slack links resolve to the corresponding Matrix rooms, or the limitation and supported behavior are documented.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Slack links are often used to reference a message in a different place of the slack space. If this is the case, it would be nice if the bridge would somehow replace/extend/re-link the message to link to the corresponding matrix room. Not sure if its possible or if the bridge holds any type of slack-channel to matrix-room map to calculate the replacement.

If it's not possible, this issue will still be nice for documentation.
