Allow HTML in description fields?

I'm running Gallery version 2.3.1 core 1.3.0.1. I was wondering if it was possible either natively or through a plugin or through a (simple for non-programmers like me) hack to allow html (specifically links) in photo and album descriptions? This would be extremely helpful to me. Right now it just shows the html code rather than rendering it.

Even though you can choose HTML as an option, gallery still filters it.
To fix this edit modules/core/classes/GalleryUtilities.class line ~850

    function htmlSafe($html, $decode=false) {
        list($ret, $isAnon) = GalleryCoreApi::isAnonymousUser();
        if(!$ret && !$isAnon){
            return $html;
        }
        GalleryCoreApi::requireOnce('lib/pear/Safe.php');
        static $parser;
        if (!isset($parser)) {
            $tmp = new HTML_Safe();
            $parser =& $tmp;
        }
        if ($decode) {
            GalleryUtilities::unsanitizeInputValues($html, false);
        }
        $html = $parser->parse($html);
        if ($decode) {
            GalleryUtilities::sanitizeInputValues($html, false);
        }
        return $html;
    }

This will allow any registered user to submit unfiltered html especially helpful if you allow anonymous comments.
If you only want admins to have the option:

    function htmlSafe($html, $decode=false) {
        list ($ret, $isAdmin) = GalleryCoreApi::isUserInSiteAdminGroup();
        if(!$ret && $isAdmin){
            return $html;
        }
        GalleryCoreApi::requireOnce('lib/pear/Safe.php');
        static $parser;
        if (!isset($parser)) {
            $tmp = new HTML_Safe();
            $parser =& $tmp;
        }
        if ($decode) {
            GalleryUtilities::unsanitizeInputValues($html, false);
        }
        $html = $parser->parse($html);
        if ($decode) {
            GalleryUtilities::sanitizeInputValues($html, false);
        }
        return $html;
    }

I set it to BBCode because apparently I'd already done BBCode for a bunch of my pieces; also, html mode required that I add <br/> for every line break which is a PITA. However, it isn't rendering the BBCode... see here: http://katherinehowardartist.com/gallery/v/paintings/being_art.jpg.html
In the description below the painting, the link to the prints doesn't work, it just shows the bbcode... why?
