Ole,
Would an autocomplete textfield work in your situation?
Basically, when text is entered in the textfield, it triggers a function
which takes the text and returns a list of results the user can select
from. In your case, they user could type the textfields into the
textbox, and the autocomplete function could return a list of URLs the
user can select from.
There's a quick set of instructions on autocomplete fields at
http://drupal.org/node/208424#comment-686252. You can get more info by
searching drupal.org.

Hi all,
not very familiar with Drupal development, but I'm working my way
through Pro Drupal Development which helps a lot.
I was wondering how I could implement the hook_form, in order to
create a form within the Drupal generated form.
Can I add php in the <mymodule>_form or does Drupal offer ways here?
Here is my case. I am creating a module that stores nodes with several
textfields. One of the fields is mandatory and should contain a url.
The user must be able to search for the urls by posting keywords to an
web service. When the result comes back the user must be able to
select a url which is then stored in the right field. after that, the
user is able to add some text and then submit the form the Drupal way.
Any help is welcome, thanks advance for the trouble taken.
