Thanks, Jonathan, Jacque, Jeanne, Trevor and Eric for your suggestions.

This is what I ended up with and it's working very well. It basically emulates what happens in a web browser when you hover over a link.

on mouseWithin
  if the mouse is down then exit mouseWithin
  if the textStyle of the mouseChunk contains "link" then
    set the cursor to hand
    lock cursor
    put the linkText of the mouseChunk into fld "status"
  else
    unlock cursor
    put empty into fld "status"
  end if
end mouseWithin

Don't forget to set the lockCursor to false when leaving the field or in the linkClicked handler, otherwise it get stuck on pointy finger.
