JSX within Markdown links

[dimaip]

This currently doesn't work in V2. Any plan to support things like this?

[click here]({props.href})

We're using MDX as a templating engine for emails, and it would be much easier for editors to author links using markdown, rather than having to type:

<a href={props.href}>click here</a>

Similar discussion in XDM, which is merging back with MDX wooorm/xdm#88

Honestly I'd love curly braces to be interpolated in as many places as possible. If I needed a literal value somewhere I could always escape it.
Making non tech-savvy people type the full tag format is not cool and kinda inconsistent.

mdx is javascript and JSX. With a few shortcuts. If you care about non tech-savvy users, I would highly recommend a normal template language.

Thanks, I know what MDX is :-)
I have been using MDX on a bunch of projects with non-developers being in charge of editing MDX files. It worked amazing! The ability to have Markdown with sprinkles of React components in the right places adds incredible power to the format with which people are well familiar.
E.g. we were using MDX as a format for email templates and it has been a real blessing.
