A video description may have some URLs.

They are displayed as clickable links on odysee.com:
odysee video description

But they are non-clickable plain text in RSS:
odysee feed view

For comparison, here is how youtube's feed looks like (see clickable underlined links at the bottom):
youtube feed view

Another comparison, with Peertube

Feed from Peertube:
image

Vs feed from Odysee:

I like feeds from Odysee though, because they ship with an image thumbnail.

It would be nice to have clickable links in feeds from Odysee.

Interestingly, peertube feeds have <a href=...> tags around URLs, but youtube feeds do not.

youtube uses <feed> as a root element and ships video description in entry > media:group > media:description tag with no markup (apparently, my RSS reader recognizes links by themself).

peertube and odysee use <rss version="2.0"> as a root element

peertube ships descriptions in item > content:encoded tag with html markup and <a href=...> around URLs; they also have a short item > description.
odysee ships full video description in item > description with some html markup (e. g. <br> tags), but no <a href=...> around URLs.
