email hyperlinks in a form

Received an interesting request from a user that stores contact 
information in a Base document. When stored in a Write or Calc document, 
OOo recognizes things such as an email address and converts it to a 
link. You can then click on the link to automatically open say your 
email software.

Now, if I store an email address as a field in Base, is there anyway 
that I can cause this to be treated as a link in a form (or similar).

In a pinch, I will write a macro that is called as an event handler for 
a button activation that will read the email field for the current 
record and invoke the default email software.  I would prefer to not 
write a macro, however.
