Set up a link in slack reminder

Is there any way to set up a slack /reminder with a link in the text?

Example:

/reminder me Hey! Check out the weather in https://www.yr.no/place/Norway/ every weekday

When I try to type this on Slack, I get the following message:

/reminder me Hey! Check out the weather in https://www.yr.no/place/Norway/ every weekday is not a valid command. In Slack, all messages that start with the "/" character are interpreted as commands.

If you are trying to send a message and not run a command, try preceding the "/" with an empty space.

Another option that works in my case:

/remind me Here is <https://www.yr.no/place/Norway|the link> in 1 min

Note! No embedded links, just paste it as a plain text.

And the outcome is:

the outcome

Slack now lets you link text within its editor (without posting the full URL) so you can set:

/remind me "Hey! Check out the weather in Norway" every weekday

which is a little cleaner

yep, it is always nice to include links to Docs, Jira, etc. To include a link, use quotation marks when you describe what to remind. e.g., /remind @Trump to "use Google Scholar when searching for scientific evidence https://scholar.google.com" every weekday.
