text in a widget, text-widget

hello


i have an application with a couple of text widgets
but i would like to add some functionalities that at first and second sight
are not directly supported by the plain text widget itself
 - ?

for example i would like certain lines of text within the textwidget to take
 different background colors according to certain parameters

also i would like to be able to detect certain sentences or words
that would become 'links' and by clicking them i would open up different windows

any suggestions to solutions and widgets for the above problems ?

 - i probably could use the canvas for the color-thing .. as i write this ..

kind regards
jmcs3
