Links in Code Blocks

[Tom Maynard]

Is it possible to have a live hyperlink *inside* a \`\`\`Code 
Block\`\`\`?  Something like:
```markdown
This code block contains an embedded 
[hyperlink](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink). Is it possible to 
render it as an active link instead of source?
```
I realize that Markdown support already exists, but it doesn't work.  
And, I also realize that what I'm asking for is diametrically opposed to 
what a Code Block is meant to be (even one with syntax highlighting.  
It's a "WYSIWYG" functionality, and I'm trying to circumvent it (at 
least partially).

Is there a way?
