Converting links to a single word?

So I've noticed that people on the forums have been using this thing where they convert a link of somesort into a singular word, for instance the download links in this thread: http://www.beamng.com/threads/7868-Racing-Pack-5-cars-2-maps

I googled it but there was multiple ways and non of them seemed to work, is there a specific way for the forums?

 

You write a word, highlight/select it and click the link button (near the insert image button).
Test

 

Yes, the globe with a link in front does that. (Below the text color)

 

this is a test of what was said above

 

The globe does that? I've been typing the bbcode manually...

@op- also, this is what you should type:
[noparse]example[/noparse]

 

Thanks guys I guess I need some helpful information
