the document Std/Docu/Links explains how to create a hyperlink

I'm not sure I understand what you mean about 'boxed text'. However, to make
the command operate on a stretch of text you can program the command to
interpret the current selection, whether it precedes the commander or is in
a different text or wherever. The examples include code for interpreting the
selection.

It is up to your command code to decide when to stop interpreting text, or
to ignore text parts it's not interested in.

Similarly - and this may be useful for your boxed text - you can code the
command to start reading the focus text - see module In for examples.

Hope this helps.
