Allow user to change the display text for a hyperlink that links to a File on PI System Explorer's Notifications Message Editor.

Currently, PI System Explorer's Notifications Message Editor does not allow the user to change the display text for a hyperlink that links to a File. There are some workarounds (such as using PI Builder to edit the XAML directly), but it would be ...
