Here you go Bill:

on linkClicked pText
  put the clickChunk into tChunk
  put the long id of the target into tTarget
  ask "Replacement:"
  if it <> "" then
    do "put it into" && tChunk
    put word 2 of tChunk into tStart
    put word 4 of tChunk into tEnd
    set the textStyle of char tStart to \
      (tStart + length(it) - 1) of tTarget to link
  end if
end linkClicked
