The ability to, once maptext is initialized, have certain map-text strings be click-able. Thus able to do things like call functions via Click() perhaps.

Something like this would be very useful. You could do things like link to items and quests in your chat log.

This seems like a pretty cool feature. Might be very useful.

Can't you already do this with Topic() links?

You cannot apply html links within maptext, but that would probably be the best way to handle this. Currently, any type of click on maptext is just considered a click on the atom that it is displayed on.

Seems like the natural way of doing this would be through html href tags.

No such thing happens, though I wish to hell it did.

Indeed, this would be a wonderful feature.
