It seems a bit silly to have a Text system which supports links but
cannot write them to any kind of document format. The only way to save
links is to save an archived object, which isn't very useful for
exchange between applications.
I realize that an individual developer could come up with some way to
transform an NSAttributedString into, say, HTML. But a link-preserving
method of interchange seems like something that ought to be a standard
OS facility, so you can transfer a bit of text that contains links
from application to application without losing the links.
If your goal is to transfer this information between applications, why
not just use the NSAttributedString itself? It could be saved into a
file or pasteboard or whatever, and arrive intact in another app.
