It doesn't appear to be possible to manually create and handle hyperlinks. This is something we'll need before we can move away from our custom implementation. Is this issue tracking...

@RussKie Is there enough information on it that the community can help with that, or are we blocked waiting for an internal team?

That's great! Are you looking for API ideas, or do already have some concept of the shape it should be? If the former, do you have notes on the pitfalls...

@RussKie How about an API roughly like this? ```cs // No need to specify href since it's basically just a note to yourself in the form of a string tag....
