How to make a hyperlink navigable in an editable web page (i.e. when designMode = "On" or contentEditable = true)

I have created a WYSIWYG html editor with the help of an article at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/dnmshtml/html/createwp.asp
Everything works fine. Now I just want to make navigable hyperlinks in this editor.

A user enters a hyperlink (Say www.msn.com) in the editor, editor detects the link, changes its color and underlines it but do not take user to the www.msn.com when he clicks the link.

Is it possible to make this link navigable right within the editor.
Thanks in anticipation

Hi,

The interface does not allow this at the moment. It's great feedback to allow a user to hold the control key and be able to navigate from the link as with other editing applications such as word.

Thanks

Ctrl+ click on link in edit mode will select the whole paragraph, by accident, user can easily delete the whole selected paragraph. So, it is not compatible. I think the possible solution is Alt+ click on the link or Double click on the link.
