Hi all,

inside default proposals for content assist there are links to other classes, for example.

I have extended content assist of default XML editor...but how I can insert a link to a website using "http://..."?

Thanks
Marco

Content Assist is only inserting the text using its proposals, so
there's no reason you can't propose something that looks like a URL.
What you're seeing as hyperlinks are generated dynamically through
contributions to a separate extension point, although I'd be surprised
if you somehow weren't getting the detector that recognizes URLs.

My error...I do not want put a link inside the content assist proposal but inside the description box that appears when you highlight a proposal. I mean the "yellow" box containing additional information on that proposal.

My proposals are taken from an external XML file using XPath; for each proposal I get also some "extra" information that are displayed in that box (see image here: http://wiki.openclonk.org/images/thumb/1/16/Eclipse_ContentAssist.png/600px-Eclipse_ContentAssist.png )

In that box I would like to write an URL to a website.

Thanks
Marco

In that case you'll want to make note of which widget is used to display
that information, and see whether there's a way to place linkable text
within it. It might be as simple as marking up the link as you would in
HTML source.
