The ability to have flash messages (notice, error, warning, etc) with embedded links is nice from a user interaction standpoint. However, embedding an anchor tag inside a flash message from the controller is dirty.

What tactic would you take between the controller and view to employ something like this cleanly?

flash[:notice] = "Proceed to #{view_context.link_to('login page', login_path)}".html_safe
