htmlText and links

[xbury.cs at clearstream.com]

Unless you redefine a new HTML standard, you out of luck.

The solution is to make a lookup table for your href links and substitute 
the
formated lookup after the click...

  <a href="my link is not formated">my link</a>

in a field you have the linkreferences containing the link and the 
formated link separated by 
your favorite itemdelimiter.

Then you
  put the number of lines in char 1 to offset(mylink,linkreferences) of 
linkreferences into thisline
  put item 2 of line thisline of linkreferences into formatedlink

and VOILA!

Mind you the example script is not complete and the lineoffset will
probably fail...
