The clickable urls in names is nothing more then a patch to make msn messenger handle texturls in names as links, just the same as it handles texturls as links in a normal conversation.
This works only localy, and both parties certainly don't need the plugin and/or patch in order to let this work (as it is only localy).

But to come back to the topposters question...
It is a very very big leap into letting MSN Messenger handle text like:
"
hello, go to http://blahblah.com/ to install the program"
like this (how it is currently):
"
hello, go to http://blahblah.com/ to install the program"
compared to text like this:
"
hello, go to here to install the program"
shown up like this:
"
hello, go to here to install the program"
That last one is very difficult todo and will not be possible by a simple patch. It "could" be possible with a plugin though, but for this to let work, both parties will need the plugin. As the plugin must alter the text (add some tags or special symbols to it) and on the other side, the same plugin must interpret this altered text. Just like Messenger Plus! does with its colors.
This also means, that the other party will have something very strange if he/she doesn't have this plugin.
eg:
you 'll need to write something like
"
hello, go to [url=http://blahblah.com/]here[/url] to install the program"
and the other party with the plugin will see
"
hello, go to here to install the program"
and the other party without the plugin will see
"
hello, go to [url=http://blahblah.com/]here[/url] to install the program"
in short: don't hope too much for something solid to do this. Anyways, why not just type the URL fully? It would be even more work to make it like you want (which will not be clickable/viewed nicely for everybody) then to simply type the full URL (which will be clickable for everybody).
thus:

Why not:
"you can click the following link to do something: http://www.microsoft.com/" ???
This will not only be viewable in a clear way to everybody, it also enables your contacts to simply copy/paste the url if they want (which will not be possible in the way you want it)
