Microsoft Forms - Accessibility

I am trying to find a way to add a  self-describing hyperlink - as opposed to posting the URL, in a microsoft form I want to create for users to apply for services. I can post the url and the link is created, but the ctrl+K that usually opens the link dialog and enables link creation does not seem to work in the forms text boxes.

 

This seems like pretty basic functionality - lack of it means the document is no longer accessible if we post the link and if we do not, we make people go hunting for the URL using a search engine.

    paul35mm Rather unforgiveably from an accessibility perspective this isn't possible yet in Forms. There is a request for it which you can vote for on the Microsoft Feedback Portal.

      RobElliottthanks - I agree. The devil with all of this stuff is in the details, and makes creating and maintaining truly accessible  sites, learning, etc. really challenging.
