It would require a code change, however this would be possible.<br>
Unfortunately, it would also prevent people from adding their own useable<br>
HTML links into the content (which is either a feature or a bug, I<br>
suppose)<br>
<br>
That may specifically be a useful tradeoff in the case of log files, however.<br>
