How to link to a chat room?

Question

Is there a quick way to refer to a chatroom in a comment, like #Java, or we can just copypaste the HTTP url (which is not really verbous in text)?

Answer 1

Just use regular linking, providing a text description with the full URL underlying it:

[My link description][1]

[1]: http://mylink.com

So, for instance:

Meta SO Chat rooms and, to be specific, the Meta SO 'Opportunity' room

I personally don't think this takes an age to accomplish, just like linking anywhere else.
