Sending a formatted link to client

See original GitHub issue

I have tried:

1. session.send('[display text](http://ww.bing.com)')
2. session.send('[display text(http://ww.bing.com)]') 
3. session.send('(display text)[http://ww.bing.com]')

What is the correct way to send formatted links?

[display](http://link) http://docs.botframework.com/connector/message-content/#navtitle

NOTE: Some channels (like SMS) don’t support named links, and so it will render as display http://link

No, if you are binding directly to an environment then it is up to you to figure out how to render in that environment.
The connector acts as layer to isolate you from having to do that, and it does that by translating from markdown to the target environment.

Skype doesn’t support markdown, but it does support <b>bold</b><I>italic</I> and <quote>quotedtext</quote> <s>strikethrough</s>
