I'm posting this in the hopes that it will be of some use to someone.

I've put together a little regex function for finding and transforming links in blocks of plain text into clickable links while applying some heuristics to handle the more common edge cases.

Unlike so many solutions I've found online this one handles more edge cases including periods and commas at the end, surrounding parentheses, trailing periods on only the domain part, etc. etc.
