Rich Content Cards for Users
When I need to present something to my user that requires a more complex interaction with the user. In my usecase it's playlist generation where voice interaction would not be simple and I would need to direct user to a web environment. I can pass a card with a URL that is easy for the user to type in but it would be better if the URL was clickable.

You can now use the Alexa Presentation Language OpenURL command to show clickable web links. See https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-presentation-language/apl-standard-commands.html#open_url_command.

All I want is clickable hyperlinks and we would be set with Alexa skills. In real estate, you can't share the photos of the property without redirecting to the website. Without a link, no one will type the long url in to see the property.

I couldn't agree more. When you make a skill about product's for example this could be useful if the users want more detailed product details which he then can share with one of his customers/friends per E-Mail/Text Chat.
