How to do hyperlinked text in a field not locked

[Björnke von Gierke]

As Rev stores links in the linktext property of field chars, you can  
use selectionchanged to go to a link:

on selectionchanged
   put the linktext of char (word 2 of the mousechunk) of me into  
theLink
   if theLink <> "" then
     put theLink --or whatever
   end if
end selectionchanged

Assuming you actually have set the linktext of relevant chars of  
course...
Also note that "selectionchanged" is not triggered when the user  
clicks, but the selection is still the same. I don't really know what  
other message could help here, unless you want to use a send in time  
or the mousemove message (both very processor intensive, and mousemove  
has the inverse problem).

anyone knows an additional message one could use?
