A: Provide convenient way to get the current site URL in SEDE query

Tim StoneWell, since we already support arbitrary autolinking if your results have something like http://example.com/|link text I thought the easiest way to solve this problem was to introduce a site:// protocol so you could return a column 'site://posts/' + CAST(Id AS nvarchar) + '/revisions|History ...

I think I whined about this before in some other context, but that URL should definitely not be a link there. Why is the autolinker even run on that text?

because the information "this part is code" is stripped way earlier
(in fact the autolinker is client-side in chat)

Right, I just meant in the sense of "Why should the autolinker look at the text in oneboxes?", but I forgot about it being client-side.
So I suppose that's the answer, it just indiscriminately looks at message contents.

yeah
e.g. in this onebox:

you can't argue that linking is good
