Is there a way to insert a spell link when using this method?
(Meaning, change to an actual spell link, not just text)
SendChatMessage(string.format("%s used !", sourceName), "PARTY")
I know how to do it in this way, if it can't be dont in the above format.
SendChatMessage(""..sourceName.." used "..GetSpellLink("Mana Tide Totem").."!", "PARTY")

Technically, it's a leading concatenated empty string :P

The two are functionally the same. If the second works, why do you want to use string.format? All it does it take up more space and CPU time.
It was more me wondering if there was a way to do it, rather than "needing it to work that way".
Just curious is all, and I don't have much knowledge of scripting, so I'm asking here.

Not in the sense that you're looking for. All the blocks of text are are compressed forms of the returned information from GetSpellLink. In other words, is just a display convenience. For example, if you were to shift click one into the text field of a macro, you can look at the character count and see what I mean. Even though the text is only a dozen or so characters, the shift-clicked link will eat much more.
With that said... I believe you could also do it like this, but as router54 stated, it would be functionally the same.
SendChatMessage(string.format("%s used %s!", sourceName, GetSpellLink("Mana Tide Totem")), "PARTY")
