It doesn't work for me probably I'm doing something wrong -
I want to create simple trigger which will substitute text from mud with hyperlink with multiline hint:

<trigger name="test trigger" priority="44445" case="true" stop="true" regex="true" id="3200">
<pattern>qwertyuiop</pattern>
<value>#sub {&lt;send '' 'First line %cr Second Line'&gt;qwertyuiop&lt;/send&gt;}</value>
</trigger>

I'm not sure you can put a line break in to an MXP hint. I've tried several ways with no luck.

You can, but I'm not sure you can just do something like <send 'commands' 'this is a%crmultiline hint'>. Try putting what you want to have in the hint in a local variable of type stringlist and then use %expandlist() where the delimiter is %cr. That I know you can do, since I do it all the time.

I tried:
<trigger name="test trigger" priority="44445" case="true" stop="true" regex="true" id="3200">
<pattern>qwertyuiop</pattern>
<value>$hint = {This is|the multiline hint}
#sub {&lt;send '' '%expandlist($hint,%cr)'&gt;qwertyuiop&lt;/send&gt;}</value>
</trigger> and got
<send '' 'This is
the multiline hint'>qwertyuiop</send> in output.
