  You need to state which Story Format you are using when you ask a question, as answers can be different for each one.
  
  That markup link syntax is correct for both Snowman and SugarCube, but unfortunately Harlowe does not support it.
  For Harlowe you will need to use either a (goto-url: ) macro or an (open-url: ) macro to achieve your desired result. Try one of the following:

  (link: "someone")[(goto-url: "http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen"]
  
  (link: "someone")[(open-url: "http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen"]

  Thank you it was my first post, next time I'll post the Story Format, I used
  (link: "someone")[(open-url: "http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen"]
  
  But took out the last ";" to make it work.
  Thank you both.

  That was my fault, I forgot that the code tag incorrectly adds semi-colons to the end of URLs, I should of use the quote tags like so:

  (link: "someone")[(goto-url: "http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen"]
  
  (link: "someone")[(open-url: "http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Christian_Andersen"]
