Include link in angular-ui bootstrap alerts?

Question

How do I include links in an angular-ui bootstrap alert?

Attempt:

Plunker Example

HTML

<div ng-controller="AlertDemoCtrl">
    <alert ng-repeat="alert in alerts" type="alert.type" close="closeAlert($index)">{{alert.msg}}</alert>
    <button class='btn' ng-click="addAlert()">Add Alert</button>
</div>

Script

function AlertDemoCtrl($scope) {
  $scope.alerts = [
    { type: 'error', msg: 'Oh snap! Change a few things up and try submitting again.' }, 
    { type: 'success', msg: '<a href="">Well done!</a> You successfully read this important alert message.' }
  ];

  $scope.addAlert = function() {
    $scope.alerts.push({msg: "Another alert!"});
  };

  $scope.closeAlert = function(index) {
    $scope.alerts.splice(index, 1);
  };

}

Embedding HTML markup in AngularJS expression is usually not the best approach as this way you won't be able to evaluate AngularJS directives.

Anyway, coming back to your question - there are many ways of getting around your problem. If you are just after displaying links the simplest way to go would be to use the ng-bind-html directive (http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ngSanitize.directive:ngBindHtml):

  <alert ng-repeat="alert in alerts" type="alert.type" close="closeAlert($index)">
    <span ng-bind-html="alert.msg"></span>
  </alert>
