Annotations don't recognise non-http links

Example: The following link will not be recognized by the markup language:
buildkite-agent annotate "[Design Documentation on the MAC server|smb://DocumentationServer.internal/Public/MyMACProject"

The page will render as a link, but the actual link address will be missing.

Similar issue found on Jenkins forum, but the suggested workaround doesn’t work in Buildkite. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRASERVER-26419

Hi @pahnev!

You are correct, annotation doesn’t work with non-http links and that is by design. We made this restrictive to avoid potentially malicious uses.

Cheers!
