hyperlinks from within df?
« on: August 21, 2014, 07:55:33 pm »

Is it possible to embed hyperlinks from within dfhack? For example a link in the combat screen to the combat screen of the wiki?

The DF help screens do have a hyperlink mechanism, but it's... inelegant.

On the other hand, a MouseQuery-like UI tool could keep track of specified bounding boxes on the screen and do something clever if there was a click in there.  I think that'd be doable, but a lot of work.
