Hyperlink parsing in internal notes fields

Question

Odoo 9: Is there a way to parse links in internal notes fields. Especially in the CRM module we like to paste links to our cloud storage and similar information. Current situation:

Paste a link to a note
These links are not clickable.
There is no parsing. They are just plain text.

Expected behaviour:

Any text that is shown to the user will detect hyperlinks
This can be done with an easy regex like r"(https*://[^ ]+)"
Found hyperlinks will be wrapped in <a href="$1">$1</a>
User is happy.

I guess this is already there and just broken for us. Or is there a design decision against it? Is there a module that does this? Should this work out of the box?

I would like to comment on @Pandachi-Coopilote (Cannot directly as Karma Points are missing):
I refer to the internal notes field, that is right in the chance. The field name is: description. There it does not parse links. I can confirm that link parsing works in the log (Field: message_ids ).

hello,
I juste try on runbot V9 (latest update) and if you write http://test.com in a internal note, the link is clickable when you push "log" button.
So I think you have a old version or some modules than can prevent this ..
