Just for future reference, you can link to things using the following format:

[Your text here](Your link here)

If you want to embed the image to show up in-line with your comment, you add an exclamation point before the first bracket. And whatever you put in the brackets becomes alt text, which users can view by hovering over the image.

![Your alt text here](your link here)

To put it into practice, the exclamation point is the difference between the following:

Example link text
And
Example alt text

One note is that it’s typically best to start a new line when embedding, since some apps don’t quite know how to parse image width and will run off the edge of the screen (making some/all of the image unviewable.)
