When you save links as part of an HTML code in an AMPScript variable, such as a paragraph containing a link to a page, you may face challenges in tracking these links.
Salesforce offers a great feature that allows tracking of such links using the “httpgetwrap” inserted right before the URL protocol.
href="httpgetwrap|https://martechnotes.com"
When dealing with AMPScript variables containing links for tracking, it is crucial to use the TreatAsContent() function instead of the v() function. This way, both the link and the tracking will work seamlessly.

SET @note = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. <a href='httpgetwrap|https://martechnotes.com'>Vestibulum</a> eu lorem vel tortor mattis convallis. Etiam vulputate pharetra varius.</p>
]%%
%%=TreatAsContent(@note)=%%

One important aspect to take into account when utilizing the “httpgetwrap” feature is its limitation in tracking only the first 100 unique URLs in the send. If you combine the prefix with Parameter Manager, it’s highly improbable that the click activity on these prefixed links will be fully tracked.
