Grr... That sounds tricky and I'm unaware of anything to do this automatically. You could try to kludge it, here's what I would try...

Instead of using widget_label or widget_text, I'd use a widget_draw. Then set the background color to [192,192,192] and foreground color to some shade of blue. Then have it detect events based on mouse click. In the event handler, have it know to then spawn a web-browser with the correct webpage. Heck, you could make this a compound widget, which once the first click is detected, you change the foreground color to purple. (call it cw_hyperlink.pro) Of course, sizing the draw window and placing the text properly might be tedious, but should be possible.

Good Luck though, I think you'll need it...
