As discussed here, it would be great to have the ability to match only partial words with the on HOTLINK event:

Quote:
mIRC succeccfully recognises URLs when the protocol is connected to another word, e.g. "https://google.com" is hover-able and click-able in "wordhttps://google.com".

As an example, I would like to match a single character inside a word. "e" should act as a hotlink in the word "hello", but "h" and "llo" should not.
