Description

Hi team

When using REST API /api/v1/messages to create messages, is it possible to include into the text an URL that could be clickable when rendered by the app?

Research direction
The issue asks if clickable URLs are possible in messages created via the REST API. To address this, first review the OpenGrok REST API documentation and source code for message creation endpoints (likely in the webapp backend). Examine how messages are stored and rendered in the UI to see if URL auto linking is implemented. Check if there is any existing markup or formatting support. The maintainers may need to clarify whether this is a feature request or a documentation gap. Look at comments for any additional context.
