Here's what I have in one of my fields, where I am creating links from time to
time:
on mouseup
-- select the text you want to turn into a link
-- then control-click the selectedText
-- mouseup is sent when control-clicking in an unlocked field
if the environment <> "development" then pass mouseup
if $user <> "pmbrig" then exit mouseup
-- prevents other users from modifying links
if the controlkey is down then
put the clickchunk into cc
put the clicktext into ctxt
put the linktext of cc into linkT
-- in case you are modifying an existing link
ask "Linktext for '" & ctxt & "'?" with linkT as sheet
put result() into r
put it into linkT
if r = empty then
if linkT = empty then
-- to remove link & set the text back to normal style
set the forecolor of cc to empty
set the textstyle of cc to empty
set the linktext of cc to empty
else
set the forecolor of cc to blue
set the textstyle of cc to link
set the linktext of cc to linkT
end if
end if
else
pass mouseup
end if
end mouseup
