Lync discards hyperlinks

lync

I don't know if it is my Lync configuration or corporate enforced policy but Lync seems to discard hyperlinks. For example if I copy the "formatting help" link on the sidebar here and paste it in a Lync conversation it appears as follows:

formatting help ยป (http://superuser.com/editing-help) 

The text in parenthesis is not clickable for me nor for the person who receives the message.

I don't care much about copy paste, I would be happy to just be able to send clickable links in message. Is there a way to do this?

This seems to be a Lync server configuration, as described in this blog:

Option #2 - Allow instant messages that contain hyperlinks, but convert the links to plain text. Enter the notice that you want to insert at the beginning of each message containing hyperlinks.
