How do you hyperlink inline code?

Question

When text is converted into inline code (text between two backticks—`text`), is there a way to hyperlink the inline code?

Regular text and headers can be hyperlinked, but it would be helpful to hyperlink inline code.

Hi Kristian,

I'll definitely look around for plugins! I hope hyperlinking inline code becomes a native editor feature in the future.

Hi @Emmanuel Jose

Not in the stock Confluence editor - as a content person, I think the reason is that the code serves a specific purpose and is often copied. Hyperlinking it introduces issues...

Funnily enough, you can do it here on the Community forum :)

Chances are there is an app in the Marketplace that can do that - either an app that enhances links or an app that enhances code blocks/lines.

Hi John!

Here is a screenshot. The "inline text sample" is placed within a pair of backticks.

I am documenting programming methods, and the methods need to reference other methods or concepts that are formatted as inline code.

For example, this MDN page about the charAt() method has embedded hyperlinks within inline code.
