Is it possible to add XML comments to a method, that allows other programmers

Is it possible to add XML comments to a method, that allows other programmers to follow the URL by clicking on it in the tooltip?

I have tried adding a URL to a method using the following format (I have also tried using the see and see also tags):

/// <summary>
/// Loads some data.
/// <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/">click me</a>
/// </summary>
/// <param name="id">The id.</param>
/// <returns>Some Data</returns>
private string LoadData(int id)

This produces a click-able hyper link to the URL, however this only works when looking at the original source code. If possible I would like to the ability to click and follow the hyper link in the tool tip shown when hovering over a call to the method, rather than the method itself.

    If possible I would like to the ability to click and follow the hyper
    link in the tool tip shown when hovering over a call to the method,
    rather than the method itself.

    If I understood you question correctly you expect something like shown in the image below

    If yes this your Xml comments are correct and in order to get this put your cursor on the method and Ctrl+Q this is a short for Resharper to get documented help of the method

    Update : Below image is to confirm Ctrl+Q is a ReSharper shortcut
    enter image description here
