ruby on rails - Put a link in a flash[:notice]

Question

I am learning Ruby and Rails.

I have a Ruby on Rails project that tracks jobs a server is running. Right now, when I manually create a new job, it announces:

flash[:notice] = "Created job job number #{update.id}."

I would like to turn the #{update.id} into a link to the job on the job list.

The URL for going to the job is jobs/list?job=1234 where 1234 is the update.id that is displayed in the flash notice.

Is it possible to put a link into a flash[:notice] statement? Or do I need to re-work how this message is being displayed in order to turn it into a link?

Don't forget to add .html_safe at the end of the notice, if you're using Rails3. So it would say flash[:notice] = "Your message".html_safe
