What would you like to be added
I would like any links found in YouTube descriptions to be actually clickable links, which can be done by being wrapped in an anchor (
<a>) element.Why would you like this to be added
To improve overall navigation. A mobile user might find cumbersome to copy the whole link and paste it in their browser to be able to navigate to that link. The same applies to PC users.
Additional information
In #2581, we added support to track video posts from an RSS feed produced by an old YouTube API. The description of the video is considered the text of a regular blogpost.
In #2596, these video posts are now displayed in the timeline. During review, @humphd noticed that links found in the descriptions do not actually work. This issue is supposed to address this.
