If you set the underlineLinks property to false, it will eliminate the
underline. (Also see the linkColor, visitedLinkColor, and activeLinkColor
if you want to turn off the color changes.) These properties are also
available on the Stack tab in the Properties palette - look on the
left-hand tab, near the bottom of the palette.

The current docs say "If the textStyle of the clicked text is "group", the
returned value contains the entire text group." ("Link" should be
substituted for "group" in this sentence - the name of the style changed.)
So clicking a piece of linked/grouped text should return the entire text
group.
