How can I programatically make an NSTextField into a hyperlink?
I wasn't able to get it to work. The closest I got was replacing
my NSTextField with an NSTextView. Then I could set its text to an
attributed string on which I'd set the link attribute to an NSURL.
However that only displayed correctly, it didn't actually respond
to clicks. I tried to override -textView:clickedOnLink:atIndex:,
but for some reason that didn't seem to get called.
In my case it wasn't really an important enough feature that I
pursued it beyond that (lots of other things to finish in the app
first). If you have static text, you could probably try loading
HTML into an attributed string. That works for the about panel, so
maybe that works automatically. Or maybe the about panel delegate
does it, in which case you're stuck again...
It might also be worth searching the net, maybe there's source code
available via koders or so that does this and shows how it's done.

We got it to work with a NSTextField. We subclassed NSTextField and
from there you can set the attributes on the cell to get it to be
displayed in blue, with an underline and there's an attribute so the
cursor turns into a hand. You have to handle the mouseDown event
yourself I think. I'll check with my colleagues and see if we can
post the code.
