How to send a message via inbox in Canvas LMS that can include links (to Amazon or other booksellers)?

Is it possible to send messages to all people in a course using the "Inbox" / "Message" function that can include hyperlinks or formatted text? 

If NOT, could that functionality be added?

Hello @KSchmerb,

While not obvious during the composing process when using the Canvas Inbox, text that is added that appears to be a link (e.g. https://www.google.com) will be converted to a clickable link when viewed from the Canvas Inbox or from the email notification that the user receives.

Yes, I do wish that more functionality (a limited version of the Rich Content Editor) existed for formatting messages in the Canvas Inbox and this is functionality that has previously been requested.
