[vwnc] How to embed an internet link into a user inertface?

Hello.
Is there an easy way to embed an internet link into a user interface?

My short definition of an internet link:
A blue, underlined label. On "mouse over" change the view of the mouse cursor. On "click" open the system internet browser (e.g. Internet Explorer or Firefox) with a given link.
Something like this: http://www.cincomsmalltalk.com

In the last years VisualWorks pushed the internet support so much. There should be a GUI component for this. Any idea?

Best regards,
Tom Grünewald

The standard text components of VW do that now when an url is recognized.  Type one into a text widget, and then (either via an event, a button press, what have you), do this:

Hello.
Thank you for your answer. Your solution works fine for an input field.

You've said 'standard text components'. Can I also add this ability to an simple text label?

| aWidget |
aWidget := self widgetAt: #LabelHttp.
aWidget label text: aWidget label text addHyperlinkEmphases.
aWidget invalidate.

The Link seems to get the hyperlink style, but is (of course?) not clickable.
Can I change this label behavior or do I have to use an input field?

Thank you again.,
Tom Grünewald

Input Fields and Text Widgets.  Of course, making a button act like a link is pretty simple - just have the action method open a browser on the desired destination
