Secure Notes Markdown links

+1 here, was very disappointed to find that link formatting is missing from 1P's notes. Understand the potential security risk element, particularly for shared notes, but there have already been multiple really good suggestions in this thread that would mitigate any concerns of that sort - e.g. reveal URL on hover, a Discord-style pop up with the option to trust that particular link in the future, red highlighting of suspicious characters, etc.

Thank you for the suggestion! I've shared it, and your request, with the team as well. 🙂

Great to hear all these suggestions are being passed on to the right people. One thing I would like to add that could possibly reduce the security risks, is a popup confirming the user wants to open the link. Discord has a similar feature:

When checking "Trust www.youtube.com links from now on", the popup won't show when clicking youtube.com links in the future. This will allow users to make sure they trust the link they clicked, even if they can't see the URL when it's formatted using Markdown. Although I agree with ogamingSCV, I don't think it's necessary for links in notes I create myself. It could be an option in the settings (probably under the Security tab) to ask for confirmation when clicking on links. Another solution is a small tooltip around a link, which only shows when hovering over it.

Thank thomasoatman

I've passed that excellent suggestion to the products team for further consideration. I'm all for the Markdown formatting for the record. I use it so much nowadays it's second nature. :)

Hi. As always, thanks for listening 1Password !!

Yes - notes can be a real pain with multi-line links....

I see an opportunity to even automate this...

Generally anything after the '?' is not so meaningful. right?
Look at the Opera browser... There is an option to show Shortened URLs in the addr box.
So, I might see "https://valon.com/login" right now... but when I click in the box, it expands to "https://valon.com/login?continueTo=dashboard"

I think 1Password could do exactly the same and make the notes automatically look really great. In other words, don't show all the 'crap' be default... just the meaningful part of the URL.
The 1st click on the url expands it to full length. A second click would than open it...

If the note creator wants to use Markdown to perhaps hide the entire mess -- such as [Login](https://valon.com/login%5C) than it is the same thing.... First click on "Login" reveals the url, second click opens it.

Perhaps a Ctrl-Click bypasses the Reveal step....

oh... and if you really want things to be safe.... render 'odd' characters in RED.... for instance, Unicode versions of the main Latin alphabet....

Would it be possible to support Markdown syntax for URL's in notes, for example, https://1password.community would show as a the clickable text "1Password Community".

Thanks for joining in ghiorspoots

I'll let the team know you'd like to see links supported in our Markdown formatting.

This is also very useful if I want to have links to other 1Password items.

I would like to format links like this (using OP's example):

```
Linking to op://Personal/%3Cid

(doesn't work)
```

One option is to use "Private link" to an item which becomes "https://start.1password.com..." which is opening in a browser.

But if I simply use "op://" links in Secure notes - they are not clickable at all.

Thanks for letting us know this would be useful to you. I'll ensure the team is aware of your feedback.
