**Use case or problem**

I regularly include links inside Properties. I think it would be nice if we can have rich text editing and live preview (like the editor) in Properties and Bases (e.g. suggest links upon typing `[[`; and render it properly)

**Proposed Solution**

Enable rich text editing in Properties and Bases.

Links alone work already. Mixing links and text do not.

> Problem Text field (or a single item in a list field) only allows either text or a single link. Proposed solution Links should be interpreted like they are in the note’s body. Current workaround (optional) Make a list property and put parts of the text and links in items of it, but that’s unfriendly to manipulating properties programmatically and it’s unwieldy. Related requests This should also apply to [markdown links](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/properties-support-markdown-links/) if they are (hopefully) implemented.
