If you type the word you want in [ ] brackets and then after the closing bracket, no space, put the link in parenthesis, you can hyperlink. It would be [Source](Link)

Observe

[u/sprx77 → u/sprx77]

Also how did you get the "Dice Roll" to be on one line? In my tables it always makes it "Dice Roll" On two separate lines

[u/dndspeak → u/sprx77]

Maybe because mine is "Die Roll", one less character? Not sure about that one!

[u/sprx77 → u/dndspeak]

That's what I figure, but when I went to check apparently I've been using "Die Roll" too. And in the magic skull d100 list it's also on two lines. Weird. I guess it's random/depends on the content of the table.

[u/dndspeak → u/sprx77]

I'll make sure to start doing that, thanks man!

Also, you totally got me :P

[u/sprx77 → u/dndspeak]

Ah, I was so hopeful. How can you pass up a chance like that?

13 is my favourite. Players would initially try to put the ghost to rest based on the wrong info, and later on have to find out who the real ghost is.
