Chats with Perplexity show footnote numbers but no actual references.

I used BYOK to add Perplexity to Capacities' AI features. One of the things I like about the regular Perplexity interface is that it always shows references for the material it summarizes. However, when I direct queries to Perplexity through Capacities, I see numbers for the references, but no references specifically. For example:
---
Are there any reports of the ixbge driver failing to enable both ports on a dual port 10g card?
Yes, there are multiple reports of the ixgbe driver failing to enable both ports on dual-port 10G Intel cards, such as the X540-AT2 and similar models.
On a Supermicro X9DRW-CTF31 motherboard with dual onboard X540-AT2 ports running Ubuntu 22.04, one port appears disabled on boot despite both being detected by lspci; unloading (rmmod ixgbe) and reloading (modprobe ixgbe) the driver enables both ports and resolves bonding issues.[1]

So you see the [1] but no associated link to tell you what Perplexity is referencing.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the Perplexity interface. The footnote numbers are clickable links there, unlike the results via Capacities.
Interestingly enough I got a completely different response from the Perplexity interface than I did in Capacities. That's probably due in part to the customization prompts that Perplexity uses to tune its responses to each user.

It looks like there is no link to the reference in what is copied from Perplexity, so Capacities couldn't create a link. Is this a setting you can configure in Capacities? If it was 1 for example, the reference would work. C R Oldham

The link formatted automatically, It was this :

Beth I didn't copy from Perplexity. I configured Perplexity as an LLM for the Capacities AI Chat feature. So there must be another part of the return payload from the Perplexity API that's not being imported into Capacities?

C R Oldham: Ah I see, I'll come back to you on this.
