Hi Gary, When you create a text frame, make it a PDF Annotation as a web-link, then nothing shows up in it in the PDF. The way I have worked with this is to size the Annotation frame properly, then place the frame directly over the text in another text frame you want to serve as a visual for the link. I think that converting some text beginning with http://... to a link is a function of the PDF reader/viewer, not something that has to do with Scribus.
