How to split text from database by links?

I'm building some kind of a news website in which I upload an article, I store the text of an article as one field The problem is, I want to be able to put links divs across the article but I don't know how to fetch and split the text accordingly And since i'm using a form to enter a new article, is there a way I can put links in specific places? (I'm using just one text field for the content of the article)
