Allow markdown referencing within description tags for Youtube , Image and StoryCard components

[joewheaton]

I am liking the captions on the new components. They are nice and simple and useful. However, for migrating a lot of old content, it would be nice to allow them to have clickable URLs (e.g. [my link](https://somewhere.com)) in the text. I can understand why on StoryCards this might not be possible as the whole card is link to the the to=" target. But for Image and Youtube, it would be nice.

That's a really tough ask. I can't actually give you markdown there because it creates a nesting problem and tanks the site performance (renderers inside renderers).

This isn't a hard no. just don't see an easy way to accomplish it with the setup we've got.

Thanks @MattReimer. I wondered about that. What if instead of the request being markdown, it is just the ability to put html in the caption (e.g. just a regular <a href= tag)? Using HTML is something we did in the Jekyll cards and grids a lot anyway. Also okay, if that is too tough an ask. Thanks!
