My email to the list has been bouncing here lately, but maybe this one will
make it through.
PgS is a DTP application -- I don't think it should underline or color change
text for a link. Those are attributes the user should set.
You already allow insertion of special text such as document name, page name,
etc. My view would be to allow insertion of a "link" -- a new object type
that would have two attributes: a title (the text to put on the page) and a
URL.
That's my $0.02 anyway...
