So I can send messages from one Windows user to the other without a problem. But how about if I wanted I send message with a hypertext link, is this possible? Here's what I thought of but doesn't work.

msg * (localhost) Go to link | http://google.com

or

msg * Go to link "http://google.com"

    I don't think the (simple) dialog Windows displays supports hyperlinks. You would need to code your own app to support this. The receiver could however use Ctrl+C to copy the text to notepad (for example) and copy and paste the link from there. But that would only make sense with very long and complicated urls. Like if you want to send your co-working a long url. (but in that case e-mail would seem easier:) It's certainly not easier for just google.com.

You could always use a full-fledged lan messenger

  • Does this have a command-line ability to send messages? (granted, this was not specifically asked in the question) I saw on the forum a command line-request is in LAN Messenger Feature Requests so if it's needed on the command line, it's not a real replacement for msg. Otherwise... It does translate any url you type to be clickable by the receiver.

  • Just like Rik, I'm wondering this as well. I guess I'm trying to get the message to the client as native as possible, so the client does not have to download any software. Jan 9, 2014 at 18:20
