I have created simple CPU alert inside Stack Management, with action that send a message to Slack.

I wanted to have the URL to the node causing the alert inside the message.  
I found the url inside `{{context.action}} ` variable, which has the format of `[View node](https://...)`.

However Slack does not support this syntax and show above code as it is

It would be nice to be able to get only the url, without the `[View node]` part.  
If there is a way to do that already, I would appreciate the explanation, if not, I suggest creating ticket for that.
