Can a "mailto:" link be used within Rise?
This should really be considered a bug, not a feature request. Being able create a simple link to a email address shouldn't require the use of 3rd party URL shorter services.
First, it hides the intended destination of the link, which from a cyber security stand point is a major issue. You can't expect learners to click on a link named "support@domain.com" then have it point to a URL that look like this "https://is.gd/1olhzu".
Second, it now means that a pivotal piece of functionality like contacting support is riding on the availability of some unknown server/service.
I understand this was meant as a work-around solution but it is basically a non-starter for any professional businesses/organizations.
Can this be escalated to a "bug" status and provide us with a roadmap for implementation please?

Yeah I agree with that part about the cyber security part. The company might have a block on any non approved websites. Even if it's to email someone in their own organization if the address is "https://is.gd/1olhzu".
Which by the way: "https://is.gd/1olhzu" or whoknows@notagoodidea.com is Hilarious!.
