Hyperlink in Post entity's textfield

I'm creating a Post entity (Activity feed entity) within my custom C# code and I need to be able to add a hyperlink into its text field.

Creating a post entity

Entity post = new Entity();
post.LogicalName = "post";

I could simply write something like

post["text"] = "http://www.google.com"

and it would work as a hyperlink. I think there's jQuery (out of a box?) that handles formatting in that case.

But in my case I'd like to add a hyperlink with a custom title. Something similar to

<a href="http://www.google.com">Click</a>

Is there a supported way to do this or do I need to write my own client side script for formatting purposes?

you can use hyperlink with custom title like this:

string link = "<a onclick='window.open(" + "http://localhost:49944/Default.aspx?     surveyresponseid=" + SurveyResponseId.ToString() + "); ' href='" + "http://localhost:49944/Default.aspx?surveyresponseid=" + SurveyResponseId.ToString() + "' target='_blank' >click this</a>";


post["text"] = link;

For your text box content to work as a hyperlink, the Format of the Textbox needs to be URL. If you can set the format of your textbox, then any text that you put in there ,provided it follows the rules of hyperlink, it will be displayed as one.

Are you creating the attribute, or is it an existing one that you're trying to fiddle with? If it's an existing one, you need to write your own javascript to render it on the form as a hyperlink; and this would be unsupported.
