Formula to output a link

Is there a way for a formula to output a link?  For example, I have a custom object that has a lookup field to a Contact.  I would also like the record to display that Contact's account, ideally as a link to the account page, but without the user having to manually type in the account.  I have figured out how to get it to display the text of the account:

 

Formula:  Contact__r.Account.Name

 

But this doesn't display as a link.  Suggestions?

 

Thanks

Try this:

 

 

Hyperlink("/"+Contact__r.AccountId , "Link to Account")
 
I'm using the ID instead to redirect to the Account record URL. 
 
Hope that helps,
