Splunk alert to Slack message URL encode something

[ryangoodwin]

I would like to clean up the messaging I'm sending to Slack for splunk alerts. 

I've tried markdown [text](http://url) which doesn't work and renders the text exactly as displayed here. 

I've also tried <text|http://url> which renders verbatim also. 

Is there anyway to have slack hide URLs behind text like a normal hyperlink? 

My alerts look really awful with huge links back to slack searches and dashboards.

@ryangoodwin angle brackets will work, but you've got it backwards.  It should be

<http://url|your-text>
