Right now, if you were to try to put a Scratchblocks tag inside a URL tag, You'd expect the blocks to be linked, right? Unfortunately, what happens is the opposite of that:

normal text

motion block ::motion

normal text

In this example, only the normal text is linked, but not the Scratchblocks.
My suggestion is that you should be able to link certain parts of Scratchblocks, with this syntax:

Here's an example of how it could work:

motion block::url:scratch.mit.edu motion
control block::control

And then in the example above, only the motion block would be linked.

Another example:

{(::ring) Explore (::ring) ::ring motion url:scratch.mit.edu/explore/projects/all} {(::ring) Ideas (::ring) ::ring operators url:scratch.mit.edu/ideas} :: #fff ring

And in the example above, the “Explore” ring would lead to the Explore page, and the “Ideas” ring would lead to the Ideas page on the Scratch website.

This also creates lots of styling options for lists of post links or signatures!

support! I would love to create a like a banner-typa-thing with this ideal suggestion

support, this sounds good for sprucing up posts and signatures

Yeah, it would be awesome for styling.

ULTRA SUPPORT!!!

SINCE I KNO HO TO USE RING, IT COULD BE USEFUL FOR MAKING FUN, AND COOL BUTTONS LIKE THESE!!!

{(:: ring) Look at this project! (:: ring):: ring looks}

This is not a bad suggestion, I’ll say. It’s probably one of the good ones along with the others that were suggested on here before.

And I see positively no downsides to this, either, and the worry about the links goes away since the bad ones get caught by the filter. It could also be a neat addition for those who never been or haven’t gotten a scratch wiki account (like me) on the forums!
