Is there a reason badge "reason" is limited to a discourse topic or post?

For custom badges, awarded manually (by hand or the API), it seems like it might often be nice to be able to have the “reason” posted be an off-site URL. Or, really, arbitarary markdown or html, which might be a link.

But currently, that’s forbidden with External or invalid discourse link is not allowed in badge reason.

Is this limitation for a practical reason? It doesn’t seem like a security issue, since you need an admin user to grant the badge anyway.

PS: if there isn’t a reason, or if there is a reason but it could be removed, I guess this is a feature request. :slight_smile:
