[feature] Hyperlinks to URLs #165

Description

@kvid

@martonmiklos has created PR #164 to remove HTML links from the input attributes. I like his idea, but I also want to discuss hyperlinks to URLs in general.

The user might want to add hyperlinks to several kinds of external references when documenting a harness:

  • Other documents in the same project.
  • Entries in a part number system.
  • Product pages or main page of manufacturer, supplier, etc.

The different output formats can support hyperlinks in different ways:

It might be possible to specify URLs in at least two ways in the YAML input:

I see no major conflicts between the two alternatives above. The first one supports more than one hyperlink per BOM entry and custom link texts, The second one supports more output formats, and both can be allowed for full flexibility. I therefore suggest accepting PR #164 when it is ready (supporting hyperlinks in the HTML BOM). A new PR can be created to add attributes and supporting more output formats, like #168.
