Trello – How to Link to a Trello Card Without Replacing Link Text

trello

In the description of a Trello card I would like to link to another card, but I want the link text to be custom.

However Trello seems to unconditionally replace whatever I wrote with the title of the card. Here's an example.

The Markdown source of the card's description is

You should check out [this other card I made](https://trello.com/c/MxFdDPZE/1-this-is-a-card-with-a-title), it's pretty good.

but Trello renders it like this:

Is there a way to force Trello to respect my custom link text without resorting to hacks like using a URL shortener?

Best Answer

A workaround is to take out the "http://" and it should work how you want it to.
