Google Map app (Part 2)

If one has a comment in the code followed by a hyperlink, the link works: It launches the default browser and take you to the site.

Is it possible to put a link in a desktop window? I’m sure this would work in the HTMLViewer, but the linked site would then show up in the viewer, which is a problem on Windows.

Another way to look at it: Is it possible with a shell command to launch the default browser and pass it a URL?

You could style a Label to look like a hyperlink by making it blue with an underline. Implement some mouse handling events and you can have what looks like a link open a URL.

There’s System.GoToURL() for opening URLs in the default web browser.
