So a question was asked way back in 2012 about adding hyperlinks in error messaging. 12 years have passed, ArcPro is the main desktop application and this has not come to pass so I'm asking now if this can be considered as an idea.
Currently my error messaging might be something like this:
arcpy.AddError("Some error, you need to go to Amazon!")
What I would like to be able to do is something like this, but this simply prints everything:
arcpy.AddError('Some error, you need to go to <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk">Amazon!</a>')
In my use case scenario I would replace the URL with a URL to an error page for an online manual.
@HannesZiegler and others I have tested this technique with AddError(). It works great with AddMessage() but when applied to a message in AddError() it does not take on the red colour for the text to highlight the issue was an error. Feels like its 80% there! But as you have stated you have re-opened the idea so hopefully we will see it fully working in the next update? Thanks.
p.s. I should state that I tested this in Pro 3.6.
