No clickable links in annotations created from workflow commands

Body

I noticed that urls in annotations created using workflow commands are not clickable. Neither GitHub URLs or autolink references work.

Basic workflow to reproduce this behavior: https://github.com/austinpray-mixpanel/gha-demo-annotation-links/pull/1/files

name: Temp Annotations Test

on:
  pull_request: {}

jobs:
  test_annotations:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: test configured autolink
        run: |
          echo '::error file=README.md,line=1,title=testing links::go/123'
      - name: test gh link
        run: |
          echo '::error file=README.md,line=1,title=testing links::wiki https://github.com/your/repo/wiki/GHA-0001'

go/123 is an autolink reference in this example

Clickable links work fine in the action run summary view

But do not work on the “Files changed” tab

Users having to copy paste URLs into the browser is not ideal. I would at least expect the highlighted URLs to be consistent between the summary page and the files changed tab. If I could wave a magic wand I would love the ability to have markdown style links to save space in the annotation text.

as anotações do GitHub Actions não suportam links clicáveis ​​nas guias de arquivos alterados. Isso pode ser uma limitação na implementação atual. Comunidade precisa se unir e criar varias solicitações de recurso no GitHub para que os desenvolvedores possam considerá-la em futuras atualizações, pois seria muito util.

è possivel utilizar com badges se precisar é uma maneira de contornar

abaixo segue o codigo

<a href="https://YOURLINK>COM" target="_blank"><img src="https://img.shields.io/badge/website-000000?style=for-the-badge&logo=About.me&logoColor=white" target="_blank"></a>

Neither an image or regular HTML link works for me. Demo: https://github.com/austinpray-mixpanel/gha-demo-annotation-links/pull/1/files

Inline annotation messages are now handled the same way as the run summary annotations, so embedded GitHub links as well as @user references should now be clickable.

Indeed!! This rules!! Thank you so much

What about links that leave github, or go to a github pages site?

[fregante]

Is this a recent change? I just noticed that this linkifies @-mention-like syntax like @return, which can appear in annotations and should not be treated like a user name.

Hey, can you share the associated snippet for creating that working annotation? :D

This doesnt appear to work for non standard urls. I have a multi build project that provisions a site for each git branch in the project, i.e:

https://$site--$branch.my.domain.com

This is likely due to the -- that separates the $site and $branch slugs. I understand that this is not a standard format for urls/domains. So its probably ignoring this as spam and the links show up as unclickable in the annotations. Any way to make these clickable?
