Description

The appearance of a LinkButton is the same as an HTML hyperlink, but actually using it to implement a hyperlink is rather involved. So, it would be nice if there was a specialized component (subclass of LinkButton) that actually implements the hyperlink functionality, using the standard Java "Desktop.browse(URI)" method, so it is quite simple to implement a real hyperlink within an application.
