I have recently been exploring the new web application Trello and I want to add hyperlinks to a card.
Is this possible?

To clarify, Trello allows MarkDown in the description field of a card. You can use a markdown formatted link ([Google](http://www.google.com)), or you can just type put a URL (like http://www.google.com) and it will be converted to a link
Card comments don't allow markdown, but they can also contain URLs, which will be converted to links. Some URLs (like ones for youtube) will be converted to previews using embed.ly

2Just a note that there can't be a space between the last square bracket and the opening parenthesis - this tripped me up.– Chris BCommented Mar 10, 2015 at 16:19
I ended up creating a small extension called GTD: Trello Card Links that allows you to put any link on the front of your Trello Cards and make it clickable. I always found it really annoying having to click on the back of cards to get to where I wanted to be!
Features
- Clickable Links on cards
- Multiple Links on cards
- Link to cards and create EPIC stories
Installation Process
- Install extension
- Navigate to your Trello Board
- Create new Trello Card
- Paste a link
- Click the link!

Nice idea, Would you consider expanding so a preview is given (e.g. like in whatsapp)– boardtcCommented Jan 9, 2017 at 12:42

Do you mean something like this where it displays the thumbnail and other meta data? cdn.gsmarena.com/imgroot/news/15/11/whatsapp-links/-728/…– OneezyCommented Jan 9, 2017 at 14:28

1Thanks for putting the code on Github. Really helpful to see the implementation :)– rujmahCommented Apr 10, 2017 at 10:38
Solution
Another way to add link to your text is to use footnote markdown syntax - especially when the URL is very long and makes your content ugly i.e. hard to read under raw view.
Some text [your text with linked]
[your text with linked]: https://www.your-link.com
Sample
The normal way for hyperlink markdown e.g. trello link markdown which makes this text ugly.

which makes this text ugly i.e. hard to read under raw view.

Trello does support markdown hyperlink in card's comment, now.
Example: Click here to go to the page. (thanks @ben-k)

Come on! Are you serious about this? Have you read the whole discussion? _________________________________________________________________________________________ 1. Markdown is markdown. I just stated that it was now supported in card's comment as it was in other Trello parts 2. Two previous answers (@ben-k and @daniel-lecheminant) were given with the syntax for markdown hyperlinks 3. It's even described when you fill a comment in SE!! Commented Jul 26, 2014 at 19:21
