Markdown for Hyperlinks in Twitch chat
Instead of having to post hyperlinks in chat that vary in character length/size; it would be great if hyperlinks could be used as markdown text in chat similar to panels. Hovering over links could be used as well here to display to the user which website the link leads to. This would be very useful for chat bots plus broadcasters and moderators could restrict markdown to themselves and/or view full links in chat instead to minimize scam or inappropriate links to other websites.

Markdown hyperlinks would definitely make Twitch chat cleaner and easier to manage, especially for bots and moderators. A similar approach can be useful when sharing resources like the https://collincadguide.com/property-tax-calculator/

Adding markdown support for hyperlinks in Twitch chat would improve readability, reduce clutter, and help users identify safer links through hover previews. Features like this could also reduce scam risks and improve moderation control, which is important when evaluating online trust and security platforms.

I would like it to be possible to create a hyperlink in the chat, so when someone sends the command "!social" only the names of the social networks appear and just click on the name of each one to open the social network, and for other commands as well, so that it is possible create better looking commands

I would like the ability to hyperlink steam:// links in my chat so I can have my bot dynamically post join able games on command. An example link looks like this.
steam://joinlobby/{steamGameId}/{steamLobbyId}/{steamUserId}.
Currently I can have my bot post the above link but since it is not a hyperlink it shows as plain text and users need to copy/past into a browser.
