Can you clarify this a bit more, Chris? I tried this in a button:

on mouseUp
  answer "<p>This is <a>a link</a></p>"
end mouseUp

on linkClicked pLink
  put pLink
end linkClicked

and it didn't work... I clicked the link, but the answer dialog remained up
and nothing showed up in the message box.

Any hints?
