Link to external / third-party StatusPage

[chris.johnston]

This is probably more of a feature request but I'll try my luck.  I think it would be useful if a link was available to the third-party Statuspage for any added to your page.  This would provide better context of a component status such as any description etc.  Is there any way to do this currently?

Hey Chris, 

While there isn't any default functionality it could be possible through the use of HTML/JS to embed an HREF in the component name. 

Another option is that we have some markdown support that you could use to make the component named something like 

<a href="https://www.google.com">Brand New Api Service</a>

Which would then let you select the component name to get taken to a given pages url. 

Hopefully this helps!

Thanks @chris.johnston for the question ans @Zach for the answer!

I bumped into this one as well - and looks like the markdown support could be the ok answer here as I guess that's the best way to let people to "connect" to the details of the 3rd party incident (as, the 3rd party incidents do not inherit from "upstream").

I would suggest adding this to the docs also - meaning, letting people know when they add components (if it really is not there yet) - as this is quite necessary...
