Excellent this worked, and moved me forward. It allows me to add in
hyperlinks (see this image of my .js file: http://screencast.com/t/mqICnBpQQ,
and this of my .html file: http://screencast.com/t/dsOMJ7Cg7A)

However, this approach makes it so that all of the different URLs have
the same visible text. (see this image: http://screencast.com/t/M5Ummtts3Xp).

How do an autoreplace of the HTML code in the href to another field
like .label. For example,  I tried this (http://screencast.com/t/
UqErW2sV) but it didn't work.
