Support more formatting options in task notes

I'm testing Ellie for the first time and I really like it thus far.
There's one thing that I'm missing for my workflow, so maybe it's worth to consider:
I use the notes fields a lot to add context to most tasks.
Sometimes this means adding x-callback links to open other apps, e.g. a note in Bear:
bear://x-callback-url/open-note?id=C38D6170-DC61-4405-86F9-59E26E1644A0
While http(s) links are recognized and linked, these links only show up as text.
One way to solve this would be to support markdown links in the notes field, e.g.
[Project Spec](bear://x-callback-url/open-note?id=C38D6170-DC61-4405-86F9-59E26E1644A0)
Of cours, recognizing all any protocol in addition to https:// and automatically creating links would also work.

Yes to markdown! I’ve also seen one app that had the option for additional views within the task to manage URLs, files (same as attachments), and docs (a longer ”note” with formatting features). This way, the note section doesn’t get cluttered with long text and if you need context for multiple things - you can quickly access a list of external links and files. For more detailed info, a longer doc can be used with markdown and formatting features inside the task.
I’m sure there’s other ways, but just a thought. These options overall would replace the need for a note taking or even Notion type app in 75% of my day to day.

I’m really happy to see this is “planned”. I hope it will also support Shortcuts URLs (shortcuts://run-shortcut format)
