rails auto_link for comments posted by users?

I've been searching around for awhile and can't quite find what I'm looking for.

I would like to use the rails auto_link gem to scan for valid links in comments my users post, and link them out to a separate tab. Can anyone recommend a good resource on how I can achieve this with the aforementioned gem?

If I understand correctly auto_link would only be accessible in the view? Maybe, there is a better way to do what I want, any resources would be very helpful.

I'm using simple_form for users to post comments.

Auto_link documentation should be a good place to start.

I haven't used auto_link so I'm not sure if its only available in views, but even then why would it be a problem? Are you trying to save the link tag in a db?
