WebPG doesn't display anchor tags in the verified text window. Well, it displays the text part, but doesn't display it as a clickable link. I'm guessing this was a conscious decision because people may think that the verification happened to the actual link, rather than just the text of the anchor?

Would it be possible to make it so that if the link text is the same as the href attribute, then an anchor is created in the verifiied text display?

If you take a look at https://grepular.com/webpg/ you will see that I have numerous links like this. I used the actual link in the anchor text so that people can verify that the URL it's self was signed. But if you have WebPG with inline detection turned on, all of those links just become text.
