Intel and scanner link in Attack alerts

    Hello @digitalpoint ,

    would it be possible to add direct links to Intel map and scanner app in the attack alert messages?
    I'm referring in particular to Telegram alerts, as it's the endpoint I'm using the most.

    At the moment the portal name link brings to Outgress page, which has the Intel link... But it's still one more step.
    The idea would be to have quick way to open the game and recharge ASAP, or to open the Intel map and take a look at the area.

    The scanner link format is a standard as follows:
    Code:
    https://link.ingress.com/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fportal%2F<portal_guid>&apn=com.nianticproject.ingress&isi=576505181&ibi=com.google.ingress&ifl=https%3A%2F%2Fapps.apple.com%2Fapp%2Fingress%2Fid576505181&ofl=https%3A%2F%2Fintel.ingress.com%2Fintel%3Fpll%3D<lat>%2C<lon>

    It probably doesn’t make a lot of sense unless we do away with the existing link, and there would definitely be people complaining about that. At least with the Outgress link you can get to the intel map, but you can’t the never way around.

    Hello,
    I see, thanks for your feedback.

    I'm not saying to remove the outgress link, I believe it's useful, but to add an hyperlink, at least the one to the scanner. In some situations I make bot app messages like:
    Portale name hyperlinked - (scanner) ... [...]

    Do you think the resulting message would become too long, too much text to read?
