SWT Link represents the hyper links similar to the anchor links on the HTML.

// Create a Link
Link link = new Link(shell, SWT.NONE);
link.setText("Go to <a href=\"htpps://eclipse.org\">Eclipse</a> Home Page.");
// Event handling when users click on links.
link.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
Program.launch("https:/eclipse.org");
}
});
The following example creates a hyperlink that when you click on it, it go to the home page of Eclipse (https://eclipse.org).
