Description

I have a use case where I need to include clickable links inside AceEditor.

Is it possible to have any sort of html markup in the editor. I know value expects a string, but is there any way to parse or format the string value into something else?

Investigate if Ace editor supports custom HTML rendering or clickable elements. Look into Ace's 'customPaste' or 'handlePaste' events. Consider using the 'renderer' API to add custom DOM elements. Check existing issues or documentation for similar feature requests.
