I'd like to add a hyperlink into an NSTextField. Is there any way of doing so? Any alternative suggestions?

Yes. The important thing you need to do is enable rich text behaviour: [theTextField setAllowsEditingTextAttributes: YES];

The you can just set the link attribute on the part of the text in the field you wish to make a link:
NSMutableAttributedString *t = [[theTextField attributedStringValue] mutableCopy];
NSDictionary *d = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject: @"http://www.apple.com"; forKey: NSLinkAttributeName];
[t addAttributes: d range: NSMakeRange(0, [t length])];
[theTextField setAttributedStringValue: t];

Before someone else points it out, I should add that you will also want to do:
[t release];
since the mutable copy will be returned. The transient dictionary will autorelease.
