You could create a link hotspot that contains the link you want to user to click on.
To begin, select the text you wish to turn into a hotspot.
Next choose Create - Hotspot - Link Hotspot.
This brings up the Properties Box, where you can enter the web address, or URL.
If you would like a larger dialog box to enter the information into, you can click on the formula icon and a dialog box will pop-up. This dialog box allows for some very advanced features such as adding Fields or @Functions, but I think most users will not need to use these.
The Hotspot Resource Link dialog box also provides you a "paste" icon , so if you already have the URL on your clipboard you can just click on this icon.
If you would like you can also choose to "Show Border around hotspot", this places a green box around the text where the hotspot exists. This border is only available to Lotus Notes users.
Instead of using the borders, I like to underline my hotspots so they appear similar to links found on web pages. To do this, place your cursor anywhere in the hotspot text (you don't have to highlight the whole thing) and press CTRL+U to underline. (or use the toolbar icon)
If you prefer to use your keyboard as opposed to menus, after selecting the text you want to turn into a hotspot, press ALT+C+H+L.
