How do I create hyperlinks in slack?
Paste a valid url I should think
Hmm, no support. Only full blown links, rather than a names hyperlink. sorry, should have been more precise.

Note: Hyperlinking words and terms in a Slack message isn't supported — to include a URL, paste it into the message input box. Visit Sharing links in Slack for more.
Yes, this is one of the many reasons I prefer Gitter...
Hmm personally it seems like a bit of a security hole to to allow aliased links
At least you can see the url
Gitter shows you the link address when you hover over it… just like the web… which i should hope people do anyway...
