Calendar event description plain text only - can it be configured to contain url links and/or html ? Can alerts be configured that open event/task if clicked ?

Looking to have the following in Lightning - ability to pit links in the decsription box of Events or Tasks, and also when converting emails into tasks having the links put into the event or task description box. Also, when clocking on the popup alert, would like the calendar event or task open. Is this configurable, if not are there addins that do this, and if not can this be taken as a feature request ?

(also would like a configuration option to have the popup alert always pop up in front of any other open window)

Not sure what you're looking for, i.e. if a message is converted to an event or task, the message body is included in the description as plain text, including (non-active) links. In the Attachments tab, clickable URLs can be added by right-clicking in the Attachments window.

The functionality in the attachment tab does as you described it. But let's say you get an email in TB - and it contains a few links and some html. I want those links to be put into the Event or Task item without any manual intervention and for them to be 'clickable'. Then when I set an alert that pops up on the screen at the right time, (and it needs to be configurable to pop up over and above any other open program or window), I want to be able to click the alert (not the dismiss or snooze buttons), and have the calendar window come into focus with the particular Event or Task opened, so I then have only one more click to hit the link of my choice that can take me to the right reference information. That's 2 clicks after an alert has sounded. I would also like the option for the computer's speech to text engine to read the alert title a little after the alert sound, so I know why the thing is beeping. Happy to give more info if needed.

I can't offer any tips on the alert pop-ups, but the idea of allowing html in the description is a long-standing request mentioned here:

Thanks for your input. After further checking, I have a suggestion - that the html requirement is dropped - it has been outstanding for a long time. But what can be implemented I believe is the rtf / clickable link part in the description of tasks and events in the new task and new event windows. That type of functionality already exists in places - for example in the tasks tab when viewing the tasks in the multipane view.

If that can be done, and maintained when converting between tasks, events and messages in all combinations and in both directions, that will fix the first part. Would you be able to relay this to the developer community ? Thanks again for the input

Just to clarify, the functionality required is automatic conversion of text typed in url or email formats into a clickable link

What you describe makes sense, as links are clickable even in a plain text message. I don't have any direct link with developers, but you can submit a Request For Enhancement (RFE), such as this one.
