# An example URL in markdown
[Google](https://www.google.com/)
Actual:
- Neither the URL nor the text component of a markdown link can be clicked or navigated to.
Expected:
- The URL or the link text of a markdown link should be clickable and openable.
Open questions I can think of:
- Which half of a markdown link can open it: URL, text, or both
- Whether to mandate links always open in a new tab
- Whether it should require additional modifier key (ctrl? shift? alt?) to be held down to navigate (but this would be hard to do on mobile)
- Whether to confirm before opening, especially if no modifier key is required to follow (otherwise, how would someone tap inside of a URL on mobile to edit the URL, if it always forced a navigation)
