I still don't understand this one. Yes, clicking a link can trigger what it's linking to. That's the entire concept of links.
You can also put a shortcut to a program on your desktop and - horror of horrors! - clicking the shortcut will execute the program! How crazy is that?
I get that some people don't want the markdown functionality in notepad (you can turn it off very easily, btw). But I don't understand why suddenly the idea of hyperlinks is being blasted as a terrible security vulnerability?
Surely there has to be more to this, in order to generate so much hubbub, than just people not understanding the basic concept of hyperlinks?
