Title of links for Apple Support Communities Posts

I was just wondering, how do you add the title of the page you are adding as a URL link to add to a post?


EXAMPLE:

Link I am inserting.

As Bob points out, the "HREFing" of a link to a plain-language page title only works with Apple links and then not all of them nor all of the time.


The "insert link" that Bob discussed can, with a little extra work, be coerced into create a HREF type link from any url:


1) Click the insert link icon and paste the URL into the resulting entry field:


2) Leaving the insert link window open, type the plain-language name you wish the link to show and highlight it:


3) Click the paperclip icon at the left end of the insert link window:



Your typed text is now a link:
