I think Scratch should have a url block that only goes to scratch domains. The block could look like this:

url scratch.mit.edu/[projects v]/[0000000] as text [...]::operators reporter

Operators because i have no other idea. Anyways, this would create a clickable hyperlink, like the url tag, that sends you to the link. Dropdown options are:
- projects
- discuss/topics
- studios
- users
What This Is: a block that makes a clickable hyperlink that lets you optionally click it.
What This Isn't: a block that sends you to a link instantly. That can be found here.
This block works in, for example:

ask (join(url scratch.mit.edu/[projects v]/[1234567] as text [Project.]::operators reporter) [ True/False: this project is a sequel.]) and wait
say (join [Join the official studio! Link: ](url scratch.mit.edu/[studios v]/[1234567] as text [here.]::operators reporter))
think (join (join(join [I think ] (username)) [should join my studio, ]) (url scratch.mit.edu/[studios v]/[1234567] as text [Super Fun Studio] ::operators reporter ))

support. i've seen a lot of games that span multiple projects, and this would make it a lot easier to do that

True…. maybe add a cooldown? 10 seconds? And if you refer to linking projects that crash scratch, those are against ToU and can be reported. Or something else, please elaborate.

Spamming? Wait, no. That only slows down the editor. Again, he should elaborate.

This is a duplicate.

That's a block that sends you to one. This allows you to create a clickable link, rather than instantly sending you to one.

I misunderstood, my bad. Support!

No support. Something could look innocent, but in reality the art inside could be inappropriate.

You can already do stuff like this:

delete all of [url v]
add [(insert url here)] to [url v]
add [Copy the URL above.] to [url v]
show list [url v]

This is a neat idea! I support. I think there should also be an “open hyperlink ()” block so that you could, for example, do something like this:

when this sprite clicked
open hyperlink [https://scratch.mit.edu/users/yourusername/]::extension

Of course, there should be a popup that asks if you want to open that link, so the project creator cannot just spam tabs onto your browser.

That version of suggestion is located here.

Report button. As medians said, you could already do something like that, so should we remove lists??
