Description Thomas Lindroth 2005-04-05 21:45:14 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I would like to be able to display links that open in the deafult browser when klicked. Could work with konqueror also.

Can you explain what you want to do, and how it might be used?

Are you perhaps trying to create a textbox with some kind of hypertext link in the text shown in the textbox?

Can you please explain what you are trying to do?

See previous query.

I had forgot about this bug, sorry.

Yes, I would like a textbox with a hypertext link in it. I have a script that checks for stuff I want at a message board. If it finds something it displays a --yesno dialog with the description of the item and directs the browser to the page if I answer yes.
It would be nice to have a real url in the text.

Same here, for practically the same reason.
Using html-style tags works to DISPLAY the text as a link, but clicking the generated window does not open the link.

URI including URL hyperlinks would be nice as well as adding the feature should be easy.

you can use `xdg-open` to let the user use a default program & could even allow a markup to allow `xdg-open` for any kind of file hyperlink ⸻ not merely URL hyperlinks.

for example: `<link>/tmp/blah.jpg</link>` in the text could show "/tmp/blah.jpg"  that is clickable to open the file simply with `xdg-open`. 

you could add the flag feature `--enable-hyperlinks` in order to make it backward compatible.

this would be nice!
