Do you mean like this:

  CREATE TABLE stuff (
    link     hypertext
  );

  INSERT INTO stuff (link) VALUES ('http://www.rbroom.com/');

  SELECT * FROM stuff;
  <a href="http://www.rbroom.com/";>http://www.rbroom.com/</a>


If so, then the answer is that there isn't such a data type. If you want a link, then 
you'll have to make it yourself. I suggest making your column a varchar(). Then, you 
~might~ get the data with a query like this:

  SELECT CONCAT(CONCAT('<a href="', link, '">'), link, '</a>') FROM stuff;
