I was thinking a bit about item links and I got an idea that may or may not be possible. The idea is to use the item link code to link text in quest scripts. So, instead of a quest saying "Can you [help] me?", it might say "Can you help me?". And to get the link to show, you would use something like quest::saylink() or another quest command with the same idea.
And upon clicking that link, it would trigger the next quest say in the line. So, in this case, clicking on "help" would trigger the if($text=~/help/i) line. Instead of having to type /say help, you could just click it and any other linked words/phrases throughout the quest dialog to navigate through it.
I know this isn't anything that is in great demand, but I do think it would be a cool feature to add eventually if someone could figure out how. I will try to look into the code needed to do this, but if anyone knows for sure that it isn't possible, please let me know now lol. I am kinda surprised that SoE hasn't done this yet.
