R Markdown Link Using Code Chunk

Question

I have an Rmd file which interacts with a number of scripts and variables. In these scripts, there is a section where I want to provide a link. That link address is field in a data frame. What I am trying to do is something like the following:

[Click to Visit Report] (`r as.character(ModelAttributes[1,"ReportLink"])`)

However, the URL component of the markdown does not want to recognize the code chunk inside it.

Any ideas?

Please include a [MVCE](http://stackoverflow.com/help/mcve). Specifically, what code are you you using and do you get a specific error? Also, checkout this [page](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5963269/how-to-make-a-great-r-reproducible-example). — Richard Erickson, Aug 05 '15 at 15:14
Have you tried without the typo: there should be no space between ] and ( ? — Vincent Guillemot, Aug 05 '15 at 15:14
Yep, i think you just need to remove that space between `]` and `(`, just tried it, works for me — sckott, Aug 05 '15 at 15:16

Use the following code in the file file.Rmd

```{r}
df <- data.frame(a = c(1, 2), 
             url = c("http://google.com", "https://github.com"), 
             stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
```

[Click to Visit Report](`r df[1, "url"]`)

Here's the result (clicking the link works)
