There were some add-on widget sets (I'm thinking of FLU & maybe Matt's FL_MM 
stuff) that provided "buttons" that appeared as "clickable links" but, as 
Albrecht said, I think the only widget we have for doing this in body-text is 
the help_view.

As an aside, once you have your "link" working, the fl_open_uri() functions 
might be useful - or not, depending on what you really want to do!
