Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-977:
--------------------------------------
After playing around with this, I don't think any additional listener for the
URI/URL change is necessary. But feel free to comment if anyone thinks
otherwise.
The other thing that could be changed is the way we check for
"Desktop.isSupported" in the "perform" method. These checks could turn into
exceptions instead, so that something gets signaled if the link can't be
implemented, rather than just silently failing. Thoughts?
> Specialized component to implement an HTML hyperlink

> The appearance of a LinkButton is the same as an HTML hyperlink, but actually
> using it to implement a hyperlink is rather involved. So, it would be nice
> if there was a specialized component (subclass of LinkButton) that actually
> implements the hyperlink functionality, using the standard Java
> "Desktop.browse(URI)" method, so it is quite simple to implement a real
> hyperlink within an application.
