Description

Hello, I'm trying to migrate our Logz.io Alerts notification to Google Chat from old fomrat (Obsolete) to Card V2. Unfortunatly, it seems like V2 lacks of many features we are using. For example:

1. How to create a simple code or JSON Snippet? In the old format, it's just encloding the JSON ot Code snippet inside <put-code-here>.
2. How to create a simple Badge (such as Bootstrap Badge text - with background color and rounded corners)?
3. HTTP cannot be used as Hyperlink, only HTTPS - well, this is a shame, since we want to provide link to internal services, which are not HTTPS.
4. It seems like there is an issue with "parameterized" Hyperlinks, for example, placing parameters as part of Logz.io alert content sent to Google Chat after being processed (the parameters are replaced with the actual values). Using as simple "text" works, but using as Hyper link, doesn't work at all!

{
    "decoratedText": {
        "startIcon": {
            "knownIcon": "STAR"
        },
        "text": "<a href='{{&alert_app_url}}#/view-triggered-alert?from={{&alert_timeframe_start_epoch_millis}}&to={{&alert_timeframe_end_epoch_millis}}&definitionId={{&alert_definition_id}}&switchToAccountId={{&account_id}}'>Open Alert in Logz.io</a>"
    }
}

NOTE: The following is a format used by Logz.io. All "placeholders" are replaced with the original values.

{{&alert_app_url}}#/view-triggered-alert?from={{&alert_timeframe_start_epoch_millis}}&to={{&alert_timeframe_end_epoch_millis}}&definitionId={{&alert_definition_id}}&switchToAccountId={{&account_id}}

If using the old Chat format, it works like a charm! For exanple, this works with no issue at all:

{
    "text": "*{{alert_title}}*\n_{{alert_description}}_\nseverity:`{{alert_severity}}`\nsample:\n```{{alert_samples}}```\n<{{&alert_app_url}}#/view-triggered-alert?from={{&alert_timeframe_start_epoch_millis}}&to={{&alert_timeframe_end_epoch_millis}}&definitionId={{&alert_definition_id}}&switchToAccountId={{&account_id}}|open in logz>\n<{{&alert_app_url}}#/dashboard/alerts/v2019/{{&alert_definition_id}}|adjust alert>"
}

Impact

This impacts all our 100+ alert notification templates used in Logz.io and other services. We cannot migrate them without loosing something.

It's a shame!
