For things like flash[:etc], and other dynamic text sent from the  
controller, how do you embed links?

I’ve currently fallen back on actually embedding HTML, but as routes  
may change, this doesn’t seem like a good practice.

An example of what I’m doing now:  
flash[:notice] = “#{@var} added! To remove, see your #{settings}.”

Is there any way to use some kind of link\_to here?
