In addition to bare URLs being clickable, I would also find it useful to have human readable links in edit comments.

For example:
- Markdown links: `[link text](https://example.com "hover text")` gives [link text](https://example.com "hover text")
- HTML anchor tag links: `<a href="https://example.com" title="hover text">link text</a>` gives <a href="https://example.com" title="hover text">link text</a>

Just having clickable bare URLs would be a significant improvement already. I mention human readable links as a potential further improvement. This would allow a concise edit comment that can be read as a self-contained explanation even without clicking the link(s), while leaving open the option of clicking for more detail.
