Apologies if this has come up before, but I wasn't able to find an discussion of it. I've had a look through the metacommands file as well and haven't found any hints. If there's already a way to do this in LPub3D, please let me know.

I would like to be able to include hyperlinks inside text boxes created in LPub3D that would be included in the exported PDF. It could be something like:

0 !LPUB INSERT TEXT "Instructions for the Airship can be found <a href=\"https://bit.ly/lego-airship\">here.</a>"

Or maybe a markdown approach could avoid the need for escaping the quotes:
0 !LPUB INSERT TEXT "Instructions for the Airship can be found [here](https://bit.ly/lego-airship)."

The markdown approach might be a nice start towards allowing text formatting, though I can imagine that might be a headache you'd rather avoid.
