Design page for task: "Add support for displaying hyperlinks in reports".

Rationale

It should be possible to display text fields as hyperlinks.

Note that future rich text support in text fields will support hyperlinks in a HTML way.

Requirements

• add a "hyperlink data source" property aside of "text data source", so both can be obtained from the db
• the URL can be based on data from a data source, or
• the URL can be based on static text set in a hyperlink property
• by default the font should be underlined and somewhat blue-colored (default hyperlink style)
  • this applies also to local paths
  • honor the format changes though
• after generating a PDF or PS, the links should be clickable (assuming the URL is provided)
