    Description

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Cloud. Using Confluence Server? See the corresponding suggestion.

      The rich text editor does not support creating links that do not begin with "protocol://"

      This prevents usage of the rich text editor to insert "javascript:" links. Understandably from a security angle this can be considered to be useful. However many users of Confluence have other macros such as the html macro enabled because the user base of our instance is trustworthy. For these cases, there should be a Confluence setting to enable the users to enter in links in any format using the rich text editor.

      Right now my workaround is to use the html macro to insert these kinds of links. However this makes things more difficult to maintain as compared to using the rich text editor.
