    I don't believe Markdown links are supported. You can create a link by higlighting some text and pressing ⌘ and K on Mac or Ctrl and K on Windows. Also, for the full list of supported keyboard shortcuts and markdown options, press ⌘ and / on Mac or Ctrl and / on Windows.

      Yeah, that really is too bad. It's a wonderful feature, but I'm stuck without links.

        Hi jjt

         

        You can actually do it by pasting the link on the highlighted word. So let's say you highlight "this page" and CTRL + V to paste the link on it. It will return the outcome you expect.

         

        Let me know if it helps.
