HTML link in Salesforce task?

[Marc_Asmus]

Is it possible to create Salesforce tasks with HTML links that display friendly link text that I define?

Meaning, the underlying link--for example--is:

https://www.a-survey.com?Name=Surveyee&CampaignID=12345 

When the task owner looks at the task via Salesforce, they see friendly link text like:

Start the survey - Surveyee

I want to...

• create a Salesforce task that contains a personalized URL that Marketo builds using tokens data
• allow BDR to copy and paste the link into an email to surveyee with as little effort as possible
• have that link appear to surveyee with friendly text, instead of the actual URL

Alternative suggestions are welcomed. Thanks for any help!

Gonna say no. Task Descriptions don't support HTML so you can't get a real <a> in there. You could use an Apex trigger to move a sequence of link-like text into a real URL type field, though.
