Normal text doesn't support links at all.
However, .edittext has an "html" flag, which let's you use at least
HTML markup. Maybe links also work- I haven't tested it.

0.5.1 didn't have buttons yet. You need to either
a) compile the current CVS version with Cygwin or
b) use the precompiled swftools Windows version.
