You don't have to muck around with row templates if you don't want to.  
You can get away with customizing the script that renders data to  
columns. Here is a lesson that shows how to do this:

How Do I Override the Default Behavior For Rendering Data to a Cell?: <http://revolution.screenstepslive.com/spaces/revolution/manuals/datagrid/lessons/4202-How-Do-I-Override-the-Default-Behavior-For-Rendering-Data-to-a-Cell-

The step "Example: Truncate Tail" shows how you could do what you  
want. Just set the textStyle property for that one particular column.

on FillInData pDataArrayA
     ....
     switch the dgColumn of me
         case "COL WITH TEXT STYLE"
                 set the textStyle of me to "link"
	    break
     end swich
     ....
end FillInData
