So, in javaDoc, we have something like below:

```auto
@see <a href="https://www.journaldev.com/1663/java-generics-example-method-class-interface">Generics</a>

```

What will be the similar KDoc?

judging by the absence of movement on the github issue, it seems there is no yet a way to add links, try to up the issue, maybe it will get picked up

You can use normal markdown to create links

```auto
/**
 * [some link](https://google.com)
 * [java list](java.util.List)
 **/

```

That does not work for me when generating HTML. I have also tried embedded HTML which does not work either.
