You can either use a @UiFactory or use @UiField(provided=true) in your 
views (but that's a lot of boilerplate) or use a static field and 
requestStaticInjection(PlaceHyperlink.class) in your GinModule. I don't 
quite like it but it works, and I've been using it for the past year on a 
few widgets (particularly SuggestBox-like widgets, providing them the 
RequestFactory).
There's an issue on the tracker about making UiBinder more GIN-friendly but 
that's not an easy patch…
