Yes, watch for wrap:

on linkclicked pLinkText
   find string pLinkText & numToChar(8)
   set the scroll of me to (the formattedheight of line 1 to (word 2 of 
the foundline) of me) - the effective textheight of me
   find empty -- removes the box
end linkclicked

Interestingly, subtracting 1 from the foundline and getting the 
formattedheight of that number of lines doesn't give the same result as 
the above. Not sure why, because it should.
