The best way would be to create an NSTextView and populate its contents
dynamically. Let's say for example that you reference it with an
instance variable called myTextField. Put the following into your
awakeFromNib method:
NSString *htmlString = @"<a href=\"
http://www.apple.com/\";>Neato
Link</a>";
[[myTextField textStorage]
setAttributedString:[[[NSAttributedString alloc] initWithHTML:[NSData
dataWithBytes:[htmlString cString]
length:[htmlString length]] documentAttributes:nil]
autorelease]];
That should display a clickable link. I think there's even a way to
make NSTextView display the finger cursor over the link. Don't remember
off-hand.

the QT pref pane does it. I don't see anything like this in Interface

or give me a clue where to start.
From what I can tell, NSTextField will let me make the text blue, but
not
underlined, and there is nothing to make it act like a button. And
NSButton doesn't seem to allow a button that is just text.
Thanks for any help!
