Hyperlink

Anyone know how to create a text based hyperlink.

I know the link() command, but how could I apply that to text without some massive mouse-over or creating a lot of underlying buttons?

Also, is there any way to embed the HTML into the processing sketch, so the web page pulls up in a defined area of your sketch?

its not that massive...
actually pretty lightweight

Code:
PFont font;
String url = "http://www.processing.org";

void setup(){
  size(400,400);
  font = createFont("Arial",22);
  textFont(font);
}

void draw(){
  background(255);
  fill(0);
  cursor(ARROW);

  if(mouseX>80 && mouseY>80-22 && mouseX<80+textWidth(url) && mouseY<80){
    fill(0,0,255);
    cursor(HAND);
    }
    text(url,80,80);
  
}

void mouseReleased(){
  if(mouseX>80 && mouseY>80-22 && mouseX<80+textWidth(url) && mouseY<80)link(url);
}



and a little research would have shown you this.

Open websites in processing sketch.
