Describe the feature you'd like

It would be a nice feature if it were possible to insert for example functioning link into the description of book.
I have some chapters in which it would be a huge bonus. At the moment I had to make an extra side just to put a link into it.
In this case I'm building an internal documentation to bookstack itself and I want to reference to the homepage directly on the chapter.
Like in this picture but with a clickable link.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

Links to source pages or referenced pages without having to create a separate page for it.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I didn't find anything
