No, actually. You can do that using attributes with
NSAttributedText. This is one of the experiments I've tackled.
NSTextView does all the mouse tracking, etc., for you.
I think we can get a lot more flexibility in using Cocoa directly
versus WebKit, but there are other overarching concerns here that I'm
not quite familiar with. It would also probably require a bit more
specific hacking in the Cocoa stuff, and I can't volunteer too much
time.
