The AboutDialog can do this automatically. For special link widgets
elsewhere, I think you have these three choices now:

1.
Gnome::UI::Href:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gnomemm2/reference/html/classGnome_1_1UI_1_1HRef.html
But that's in libgnomeuimm, and it's not a very nice library in general.

2.
Gtk::LinkButton
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGtk_1_1LinkButton.html
But that's only in gtkmm 2.9/2.10, which will not be in mainstream
distributions until a few months from now.

3.
Reimplement something in your application, using these as insipiration.


But it might depend on exactly how you would like to present the link in
your UI. Do you want it in a button, or in a TextView, or label, or
somewhere else?
