For some reason people don’t try, or don’t read the doc:

class o:
    def _repr_markdown_(self):
        return '[try it](https://try.jupyter.org)'
    
o()


And we support arbitrary mime type, the _repr_*_ that exist are here just for convenience.

Which is the bad solution also, register a display_formatter for a specific object type:
