Thank you. That does work! There is a reply there which said they thought it was going to be included in Discourse Core, so I checked:

/admin/customize/watched\_words/action/replace

If I just enter the word and then just put the URL without any markdown, it works! So that is how to get it to work without the autolink theme component.

Thanks for the heads up!  
Rick
