Would like to clarify a few spec details for automatic link detection

We we would like to clarify a few things:

1. Is it just the Description and Discussion attributes which support automatic link detection? Or are there other attributes?

2. If you add a custom Large HTML attribute under Types and Attributes and then add this under Editor Presentations you do not get any link detection in Web UI. Even if you add a link by using the Insert Work Item Link option in the pop up prompt in Web UI you do not get Mentions links added on Save. We copied how existing Description attributes were defined, and selected "Description" for Kind in the Edit Presentation window. We are using the Formal Project Management process template and Issue work item type. Is there a limitation that means custom attributes do not have link detection? (Note we have Japanese locale for project area.)

3. What is the difference between the "Description" and "HTML" options that you can select for Kind in the Editor Presentation for the attribute in 2 above? We can't find this documented anywhere.

Which option should we select?

Note: For the above, we looked at the below but could not find answers:
