Attribute Option Name Links

Zen Cart 1.3.8a

I inserted a href link into the option name and it breaks the code. The link works fine on the product page however when I go to the attribute controller nothing shows up in the add attribute section.

Also if I go to option name manager and select a name for editing, I can the that some of the code for the link has moved outside the input box.

The link I placed in the option name was:

File Upload 1<a href="#" onclick="return false" onmouseover="ajax_showTooltip(window.event,'help/product_page/upload_help.html',this);return false" onmouseout="ajax_hideTooltip()"> (?) </a>

Does anyone know how I can escape this correctly so I can continue placing a link here?
