Simply select the text you want to make into a link, then go to the top menu > Text > Link. Alternatively, edit set the htmltext of the field to something that contains a <a>http://mywebsite.com/</a> part.

To have the browser go to a webpage when the user press that link, create a handler

Code: Select all

on linkclicked pText
    revGoURL pText
end linkclicked

To have a real hyperlink, that is with what is being clicked a name rather than the link, add in the field script or anywhere above the field (card, stack)

Code: Select all

on linkclicked pText
   switch pText
     case "myWebsite"
        put "http://www.mywebsite.com/" into tURL
        break
    case "google"
        put "http://www.google.com/" into tURL
        break
    default 
        -- the link doesn't correspond to any predifined label. 
        -- either put pText into tURL, either issue a debug message to
        -- the programmer
    end switch
    revGoURL tURL
end linkclicked

What is the difference between hypertext and hyperlink? I know hyperlink is a link that takes you to another link. So tell me if this is right. Hyperlinks are a form of hypertext?
