Description

Currently Ti.UI.Label supports 'link' event for iOS7 only. Would like to see this added for Android as well. (at least 4.0+) http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/3.0/#!/api/Titanium.UI.Label-event-link If I add a label using:

<Label html='some other text. <a href="#internal">internallink</a> Some other text' />

We can listen for a link event on iOS7 only. Without this capability a single click event for the whole label is thrown on Android. If a label has several links, it's not possible to find which particular link is clicked. Note: These are not external links like google.com. They are internal and I would like to perform actions based on which particular link is clicked. Eg. Search for a particular text. Other workarounds like using StyledLabel module have their limitations.
