Is there a way to render links within a finding aid as click-able in ArcLight? #369

I thought maybe this recent change in Arclight Core would address this issue: However, in the particular example of https://sul-arclight-demo.stanford.edu/catalog/m0048-xml, the links are wrapped in <relatedmaterial audience="internal" id="aspace_9e145bb936f7d346ae84e8b6abba7f12">

Some finding aids correctly encode links and they render as links: https://sul-arclight-prod.stanford.edu/catalog/m0029-xml, but as Marlo notes many are not encoded correctly and render as text. |

It sounds like this would have to be taken back to archivists as a remediation task. As an aside, I also notice that many things intended to be lists are not formatted correctly and do not appear as such. |

@dinahhandel do you have an example where lists aren't rendering? I suspect it's a similar issue. We're handling the ead list and chronlist elements so they render as lists, like in this finding aid: https://sul-arclight-prod.stanford.edu/catalog/m0170-xml |
In this finding aid https://sul-arclight-demo.stanford.edu/catalog/m0048-xml there are a number of links to related records as part of the Scope and Content component. However, they are not hyperlinked and can't be clicked. Is there a way to format/render them so that a user could click on them and the content would open in a new window?
