Allow clickable hyperlinks in activity's description
PlannedI sometimes add a hyperlink to an activity's description, for instance, to be able to link to a documentation page or something like that.
For instance, the markdown: [See here](https://example.com/documentation) will result in:

While this is shown as a hyperlink, nothing happens when clicking on it.
Can this be fixed so that a hyperlink can be opened? If clicking interferes with the current behavior of selecting the activity, maybe Ctrl+Click would work?

I did a bit of a test and I can make this work. The challenge is that there's a layer on top that's used for drag & drop, so as it currently stands the click doesn't reach the markdown element.
With the change I have in mind, we could likely do a similar thing for the form editor.

I did some work on this but decided against the Form Editor changes.
Firstly, markdown links in a form element are less likely to be relevant in the designer. They would be tested when running the workflow in the sandbox.
Secondly, it would be harder to detect in the Form Editor when we should allow a click through to the hyperlink. We intentionally have a barrier in front of each Form Element to ensure the workflow author cannot interact with the element in any way. I think certain labels and buttons were interfering with drag & drop before.
