have this php query also show an html link

Question

can this code snippet be modified to reveal html coding?

<?php $_option = $this->getOption() ?>
<?php echo  $this->htmlEscape($_option->getTitle()) ?>

it is showing a title but in that title i have an href:

<a href="http://link" target="otherwindow">link</a>

instead of it appearing as a link it just shows me the code. i'd like it to be a clickable link.

possible?

Yes, just remove the $this->htmlEscape() and leave the $_option->getTitle()

The escape function is to provide just the functionality of not being able to use (or inject) html commands or javascript.
