I have hyperlinks in many fields throughout my applications, so rather 
than putting these handlers in every field, I use one handler in the 
stack script:

on checkforLink
  if the mousechunk contains "field" then
    if the textstyle of the mousechunk = "Link" then
      set the cursor to hand
      lock cursor
    else
      set the cursor to arrow
      lock cursor
    end if
  end if
  
  send CheckforLink to me in 30 ticks
  
end checkforLink
