Agreed, this is a considerable usability issue for me...
On Empathy 3.6.4 links on statuses or tooltips are not clickable.
When opening the Information menu by right-click it opens the contact
on Gnome Contacts (3.6.2 here). A non-clickable status is displayed
there and it is not even possible
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Title:
Cannot click on status URLs in Empathy
To manage
nowadays, you still can't click on the link in the tooltip, but you also
can't click the link in the contacts manager (which is what you get when
you right-click and choose Information. I think it may be time to
reopen this.

some design!

I think that in terms of being easiest, it should be specified as
easiest for the end-user and not just the easiest fix.
In that case, it would make the most sense to implement the first option
Ken mentioned and allow the tooltip to display until the cursor exits
the buddy list area. I've seen
This is actually working a designed. If you wish to click links from
buddies, please right click their entries and click on information.
THis will allow you to click on links.

@Ken. I see what you're saying. The tooltip shows the clickable link,
and then you'd have to right click on the contact and go to
information and then you'd be able to click the link. Do you have a
suggestion as to what changes should be made. Should the tooptip not
show the clickable link?
There a number of possible ways to make the URL useful:
1. The tooltip can remain until the pointer moves outside of the window focus.
2. Right clicking on the user could bring up an option Open URL...
3. A user's status could appear under the username.
I guess it depends on whatever would be
Tooltips only stay as long as the cursor is on the icon. when it moves
they disappear.
