trigger an action (or slash command) from a link

I'm trying to use a link (in a mrkdwn) to work similar to a button, for design purposes (can integrate it better with text). So when the user clicks that link, I want it to trigger an action or a slash command (along with auth data), so I can open a dialog that shows more info.

I'm wondering if there's any way to achieve this, or if we can create a link for a slash command.

What you are trying to achieve is called interactivity in Slack.

Following are the interactivity entry points :
1. Shortcuts
2. Slash Commands
3. Interactive Components

Unfortunately, Links are not valid interactivity component.
