I would re-publish the comment created with the rich text editor as something
like:

...
<div itemprop="has_reply" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/Comment">
    ...
    <span itemprop="content">
        For this experiment I used <a
href="http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/PRO_000004168">APP</a>
    </span>
    ...
</div>

In my specific case, I have an application - already deployed in alpha -
parsing documents to extract proteins and genes. That HTML link would save my
scientists additional interactions to resolve ambiguities.
