I am fairly new to creating homebrew items on here, so please bear with me. I have already learned, that spell tooltips are not possible for homebrew monsters, so I refrained from using the [Tooltip Not Found] syntax in my monster. I still would like to link to the spell somehow, so other user's might have an easier time to find all related resources, but I fail to do so. Whatever I tried, I am seeing the message when on edit more for the monster:
This Monster cannot be shared with the community for the following reasons:
* This homebrew Monster has text that includes External Links
Remember, private homebrew is automatically shared with other users in your campaigns and does not need to be shared with the community for players to access.
1/day: Glyph of Nightmares (as an absolute, internal link with <a href="/ spells/614525-glyph-of-nightmares">)
or any combination of link and non-link (which are converted into a link when the page is saved, so there's no solution working for me here).
Can anyone help out? All search results explained on how to create spell tooltips for official spells, but I wasn't able to find a thread describing my issue. My google fu is weak here, a link to a thread with an answer would be greatly appreciated, too.
You can attach the spell using a hyperlink as you have done, you simply will not be able to publish it that way, however you can still use it privately, and the hyperlink will still function.

Confirmed that this is correct.
You may not publish any homebrew that contains a hyperlink.
