One easy way to approach this might be to extend the Documentation field
(stored in a TaggedValue) to allow HTML instead of just plain text.  This
would have the benefit of allowing formatting as well as clickable links.

If you're interested in working on such an enhancement, check out the
developer notes http://argouml.tigris.org/dev.html and follow up on the dev
list with any questions that you might have.
