Joel,

Right now, this is not available. I suppose you could use the Pick interface and then construct a URL based on its return -- but then how to transmit this information back to the browser is a tough question.

If you want to bounce some ideas off me, I'm willing to discuss it with you.

I've been experimenting with Java Explorer (with a fair
amount of success) and I'm
wondering if there is any way - by hook or by crook - to
make objects in a scene hypertext links - when the user
clicks on one while in Pick mode, the end result is the
object's URL target is opened in a new browser window.

My gut tells me this is not supported, nor will it
be easy to implement. Obviously, my net has to somehow
communicate the URL to the applet, which must open the
new browser window.

Assuming this is not currently possible, I'm willing to
dig in and try to implement it, if that seems like a
good idea. It would sure be useful for the things I'm
trying to do.

Any advice from the experts?

Thanks in advance,
Joel
