Is ServiceNow variable supports the URL link Blinking

I have a Rich Text variable in a Service Catalog item where I display a URL. I would like the URL to blink when users open the catalog form so that it grabs their attention.

Is it possible to make a URL blink in a catalog item. If yes, could someone please share the best or recommended approach?

Thank you, it's working, but this is a recommended approach to add blink tags in in variable, though it works it many are not consistent across

@vallusri 

since the variable is Rich text you can add HTML for that with CSS and use that class in your anchor tag

Something like this

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<style>
  
  .blink-link { animation: blinker 1.5s linear infinite; text-decoration: none; color: blue; } @keyframes blinker { 50% { opacity: 0; } }
  </style>
<p><strong><a class="blink-link" title="Click here to download" href="/sys_attachment.do?sys_id=a12309c9c3d3bed05b9c7fedd4013199" target="_top" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Click here to download</a></strong></p>

Variable Config:
