I don't believe RevGoURL is deprecated..... Oh My Lord Ganesha!!! It is
deprecated... well, it is not the end of the world, it appears that they
introduced launch url sometime during 2.9 and I missed it.

So, use the selectedchunk. Something along the lines of:

set the textstyle of the selectedchunk to "linktext".

Then, lock the text field so it is not editable anymore. Put a handler in it
like

on linkcliked pLink
  launch url pLink
end linkclicked

See if it works for you.

cheers
