Class Hyperlink

java.lang.Object

com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.Hyperlink

public static class Hyperlink
extends Object

A widget that serves as an "internal" hyperlink. That is, it is a link to another state of the running application. When clicked, it will create a new history frame using History.newItem(java.lang.String), but without reloading the page.

If you want an HTML hyperlink (<a> tag) without interacting with the history system, use Anchor instead.

Being a true hyperlink, it is also possible for the user to "right-click, open link in new window", which will cause the application to be loaded in a new window at the state specified by the hyperlink.

Built-in Bidi Text Support

This widget is capable of automatically adjusting its direction according to its content. This feature is controlled by #setDirectionEstimator or passing a DirectionEstimator parameter to the constructor, and is off by default.
