Description
At this moment text nodes can't render html and specifically hyperlinks.

This ability to open a basic link from a text node would be very useful, especially when one is trying to compete with Adobe AIR

At this stage, I'm not aware of a way of doing this without breaking things into multiple text nodes where the hyperlink is a text node on its own with an onMouseOver event that does the underline/open link bit.
