Never mind...
Calling BS on self: yes, everything works as advertised. A missing
quote in my code tripped up the URL:
'<a href=sherlock://com.MyCompany.Search?go_to_url=Testing">' +
should have been
'<a href="sherlock://com.MyCompany.Search?go_to_url=Testing">' +
This made the resulting HTML look like:
<a href='sherlock://com.MyCompany.Search?go_to_url=Testing"'>Route
sherlock: URL</a>
Lesson learned: verify that what's written out to htmlData really is
what one thought:
debug(XMLQuery.source(DataStore.Get("Internet.DetailHTMLView.htmlData"))
);
Apologies for the red herring.
