Shortcut/Link/URL in TrayTip?

[DrLarch 0]

There seems to be two relevant posts on this subject in the forums here: one links to an outside tool (CPPToolTip v2.1), while the other seems to create something that looks like a link (but apparently doesn't work as a link).

So, does anyone have any code that works natively within AutoIt that can do this? I'd like to be able to click a link or a url in a traytip that could open a folder/file. I'd rather not have to run a GUI and try to detect mouse position & clicks, but rather a real link. Is this possible with AutoIt? Any help appreciated....

Something like this? One item for a URL and one for a folder

#include <IE.au3>
#NoTrayIcon
Opt("TrayMenuMode", 1)

TrayCreateItem("")
$google = TrayCreateItem("Google")
$explorer = TrayCreateItem("WinDir")
TraySetState()

While 1
    Local $msg = TrayGetMsg()
    If $msg = $google Then _IECreate("www.google.com")
If $msg = $explorer Then ShellExecute(@WindowsDir)
WEnd

I think he means the popup tooltip like this:

I looked into this possibility a while back and AutoIt couldn't do that at the time. Others suggested to create a borderless gui and put a link in there. Problem with that was it was only a rectangle, not the cool looking tooltip like the one in the picture.

Oh, that's useful too, JLogan3o13, but yes, abberration is right. I'm fiddling around with CPPToolTip v2.1, but it's going to take a while for me to get my head around that solution. Oh well. Thanks for the help.
