This is not something you can control. Whether or not the link is 
clickable depends on the application you use to view the document.

For some applications, the answer is to just include a URL as text:

http://www.python.org/

will do. For other applications, you will need to format the URL as a 
HTML reference:

<a href="http://www.python.org/">Python</a>


or as markdown:

[Python](http://www.python.org/)


or possibly even ReST:

`Python <http://www.python.org/>`_.


or some other format. Or possibly you can't do it at all. Notepad, for 
example, has no concept of clickable links.
