Most of them use the dot (or some things like this character) for link description and you thought there is no link.

You can type the following line and select custom markdown:

@bold [.](http://www.planwallpaper.com/static/images/i-should-buy-a-boat.jpg)

If you want to add text to your link, you need to create a bot and use this approach in the bot.

Edit:

For sending hyperlink with the bot api you can simply send html markup and using parse_mode. See telegram documents:

To use this mode, pass HTML in the parse_mode field when using sendMessage. The following tags are currently supported:

<b>bold</b>, <strong>bold</strong>
<i>italic</i>, <em>italic</em>
<a href="http://www.example.com/">inline URL</a>
<a href="tg://user?id=123456789">inline mention of a user</a>
<code>inline fixed-width code</code>
<pre>pre-formatted fixed-width code block</pre>
