I learned recently that Teams (Windows) does have a handler for webexteams:// URLs and it is possible to create a link to a specific space (although not easy since it requires finding the space id). However, Teams does not support links with schemas other than http:// and https://, which means the URL would have to be posted as plaintext and copy/pasted into a browser (or distributed through email, posted on a website, etc.). Additionally, when creating a link in a Teams space using markdown format with a schema other than http or https, the display text will be shown but it will not be a clickable link.
This request is two-fold:
First, allow links in Teams for additional schemas; not just webexteams:// but also onenote:// and other popular application-specific schemas.
Second, make it trivial to generate a link to a space or a message (an option under the space menu and a button on the message hover toolbar).
In all cases, links to spaces and messages would only work for members of the target space. Others would receive an error stating they do not have access to the space.
Slack, Discord and Teams all have this and it is challenging to document threads for future lookup. Please prioritize this.

Competing products like Slack have this feature.

I agree, It would be a great feature if it would be possible to link to a specific message in a space.

Discord does it, why can't Webex?

Great feature. Please also tie this into the Quote function. If I quote a message embed a link that will jump the user to the that message to get more context.

I just discovered that Webex now supports the webexteams:// protocol handler. Would be nice if Cisco advertised this, as I have no idea what versions this is supported on (currently works on 41.4.0.18516). You can click Ctrl+Shift+K in any space to copy information to the clipboard. Paste in notepad to see the results. It includes plain text links and markdown links which can now be used directly in a Webex message.
There still needs to be a way to quickly grab this URL from a menu.

Damn, that would be a nice feature in 2021 ;-)

There should also be an ability to link to a space from a message, using some special notation (similar to @ mentions), like "~My Space 123". Typing the "~" should show a list of spaces you have access to, and filter down as you type (again, similar to mentions).
