Not terribly difficult. You'll have to recognize the hyperlink, style it, associate a signal (which you'll need to add to the gnc_item_edit class) with a click event, and handle the event. The code is in src/register/register-gnome/gnucash-item-edit.c. The only catch is that everything is written in pre-gtk-2.14 code, meaning libglade, libgnomeui, libgnomecanvas, etc. Using pure gtk is possible for gnucash 2.6, but will require rewriting all of the register code to match (which, as I said earlier, is something that needs to be done.)

When you have your patch ready, please open a ticket in bugzilla and attach the patch to it. Thanks.
