Hyperlink in from argument of Quote component

[TysonMN]

I expected to be able to provide a hyperlink in the from argument of a Quote component like this.

Instead, the current behavior ignores the hyperlink and just takes in they hypertext.

Can the Quote component be enhanced so that its from argument can include a hyperlink?

If not, can another optional argument be added to the Quote component to pass in a hyperlink?

If neither, can the build process be improved to output a warning that I am using the from argument incorrectly?

Right now markdown components do not support rich markdown within their arguments. It is an interesting prospect to add that support, but if that doesn't work, then certainly it is possible to add an extra (optional) argument to Quote component.
