Is there a platform-independent way to create a clickable text that

Is there a platform-independent way to create a clickable text that
opens a webbrowser with a given link?

For the "widget" portion of the question, I've used a frameless button
for clickable text in the past.

As for what happens when you click the text, i.e. opening a web
browser, there's no platform-independent way to do that, I think. On
Win32, you'd want to use Win32API or some other means to call the
ShellExecute() function and open the link; on Unix/Linux, I guess
you'd want to fork off your web browser of choice.
