I have not done this yet but will definitely be doing it - the method is to add an HTML block, not a text block. That will let you HTML to your heart's content. In the list of blocks you can add, HTML and CSS are at the bottom of the list. Drag a block to the place where you want to put the text and link, etc., and format away.
I also seem to recall there's a link tool in the text block. I believe you highlight the text you want converted, and then hit the link icon (sort of looks like an "8" on it's side) pasting the URL into the popup. I may be mistaken though...
I have links in gallery descriptions and in photo captions. I chose to make them bold as a hint to viewers that the words are clickable. I also have site-wide CSS to change the color of the link on hover.

Yes, it's there in the text block. No html needed.
You can also put a link in the description, and it will show as a link on hover.

Aaron (leftquark) wrote a CSS code to change the link's color. See it here:

I tried the code but it doesn't seem working
You can see an example in the description of this gallery - http://www.denisegoldberg.com/Travel/Alberta-2013/A-few-favorites.
The link was placed with this code: I have this code in my theme to add a hover effect to all links on my site:
