Yeah, I had this on a feature list at some point.  I know it can be
done, but I don't know exactly how (yet).

I think I justified putting it off because my primary intent is for
D-RATS to be used in the absence of the Internet, and thus links
aren't that useful.  However, I have myself been annoyed at the lack
of linkification in D-RATS a couple of times :)

Throw a would-be-nice feature issue up on the tracker and I'll take a
look at some point.

Thanks!
