Question
-
Hi, whenever I try to click on a link appears as a plain text so I have to copy and paste.
Can't find any security restriction in the admin center. Is there any possible way to enable this?

Yes it’s a client policy that you need to create and enable
Please run these PowerShell cmdlets:
New-CsClientPolicy -Identity URLClientPolicy -EnableURL $true
Grant-CsClientPolicy -identity "amos.marble@contoso.com" -PolicyName URLClientPolicy
Please refer the Microsoft doc: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/SkypeForBusiness/set-up-policies-in-your-organization/set-up-client-policies-for-your-organization?redirectSourcePath=%252fen-us%252farticle%252fSet-Skype-for-Business-Online-client-policies-for-your-organization-0326b19f-4fd1-4b74-8791-df4c09a964b9

Hi,
Thanks for visiting our forum, here we mainly focus on general issues about Outlook desktop client but your question is more related to Skype for Business. So I'll move your thread to the dedicated forum for SFB.
The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thanks for your understanding and hope your question will be resolved soon.
Regards,
Aidan Wang

Hi,
Does the issue appear to all users or only specific user?
If only specific user has such issue, please try to clear the SFB client cache to have a try, delete the sip folder under the following path: %Userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Lync\sip_XXXXX
If all the users cannot enable hyperlinks to be clickable in IMs, please set and make sure the parameter "-EnableURL" of Client policy has been set to true.
Please try the cmdlets as below in Windows Powershell (Please make sure you have run Import-Module for connecting to your Office 365 organization before this):
New-CsClientPolicy -Identity URLClientPolicy -EnableURL $true
Grant-CsClientPolicy -PolicyName URLClientPolicy
Kind regards,
