Is it possible to post a url to an Opportunity in a simple chatter post?

Question

I'm trying to make a chatter post that includes the Opportunity name as a URL. So basically it will be something like: TestOpportunity which would take the user to the actual Opportunity when they click on it. Right now I have it posting as text. Is this possible in a simple chatter post? Thanks in advance for the help!

Update: I managed to get the URL using:

String URL = URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/' + opp.Id;

How can I put the Opportunity Name as the URL instead of the ugly URL? Possible?

FeedItem post = new FeedItem();
post.ParentId = oppOwnerId.Id;
post.createdById= oppOwnerId.Id;
post.Body = 'Opportunity ' + opp.Id; 
insert post;

Answer 1

is something like this sufficient? The Op Name is a clickable link, though the Id is visible in the post as well.

Opportunity o = [Select OwnerId, Id, Name from Opportunity WHERE Id = 'xxx'];

FeedItem post = new FeedItem();
post.ParentId = o.OwnerId;
post.createdById= o.OwnerId;
post.Type = 'LinkPost'; 
post.Title = o.Name;
post.LinkURL = '/'+ o.Id;
insert post;

Or do you need more of the rich text mentioned in the post you link to (which is possible via ConnectAPI if you need an example - let me know)

Answer 2

Looks like this same question was asked here. Not the answer you are looking for unfortunately.

Answer 3

Or you can use the ConnectAPI - which would look something like this:

Opportunity o = [Select Id, Name, OwnerId from Opportunity WHERE Id = 'xxx'];

ConnectApi.FeedItemInput input = new ConnectApi.FeedItemInput();
ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput messageInput = new ConnectApi.MessageBodyInput();
ConnectApi.LinkAttachmentInput linkAttach = new ConnectApi.LinkAttachmentInput();

linkAttach.URL =  URL.getSalesforceBaseUrl().toExternalForm() + '/' + o.Id;
linkAttach.URLName = o.Name;

input.attachment = linkAttach;

ConnectApi.FeedItem feedItemRep = ConnectApi.ChatterFeeds.postFeedItem(null, ConnectApi.FeedType.UserProfile, o.OwnerId, input, null);

The link is still visible in the post, but the name is now a clickable link
