The displayed text and the underlying link do not have to be the same.
For example, in the link "SI" above, the link is:

<a href='http://www.siliconinvestor.com'>SI</a>

Where SI is displayed and 'http://www.siliconinvestor.com' is the link location.

Personally, I would bifurcate the code and run the original text through a parser for diplay until the 15 minutes is up, then replace the origianl text with the properly formated data. Then all the text in the database would be consistently represented.

One more thought on this type of issue however...

Placing the expanded links in the body of the record makes retrieval faster but locks the link to the orignal location. With the "#reply" format, if the site ever changes to something other than www.SiliconInvestor.com, the link would still work when the parser is updated.
