First thought was that you could add a hyperlink in the text here: https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/55621a9709b219551b908e67ee88f6f7ad2593cb/grc/gui/PropsDialog.py#L208
but GTK doesn't seem to do that very well. I wouldn't intercept any old dialog click. Users might be trying to cut/paste, or just click on stuff because they're bored. So another idea would be to add a widget to the doc tab: https://developer.gnome.org/pygtk/stable/class-gtklinkbutton.html here: https://github.com/gnuradio/gnuradio/blob/55621a9709b219551b908e67ee88f6f7ad2593cb/grc/gui/PropsDialog.py#L68 On Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 9:45 PM Barry Duggan <ba...@dcsmail.net> wrote: > Hi Marcus, > > Here is what I would like to happen: > > 1) The user has a GRC flowgraph open, clicks on a block, selects > Properties, and selects the Documentation tab. > > 2) The user clicks within the text block of the Documentation tab.
