		"description": "Only for TextArea we have a property [handleLinks|http://docs.appcelerator.com/titanium/latest/#!/api/Titanium.UI.TextArea-property-handleLinks] which if set to `true` fires the `link` event for a single-tap on a link in an Attributed String.\r\n\r\n- For Label only a long-press can trigger this event, making a poor UX.\r\n- For TextField there's no such event at all, making the attribute type useless.\r\n- For TextArea the link has a different color, no underline and a tap will always open the URL in Safari before firing the {{link}} event, allowing no custom actions. Also, the documentation does not inform you about the need for {{editable}} to be set to {{false}} to capture link events.\r\n\r\nh1. Test case\r\n\r\n{code}\r\nvar win = Titanium.UI.createWindow({\r\n  backgroundColor: '#ddd',\r\n});\r\n\r\nvar label = Ti.UI.createLabel({\r\n  top: 100,\r\n  attributedString: Ti.UI.iOS.createAttributedString({\r\n    text: 'Appcelerator as Label (long press)',\r\n    attributes: [{\r\n      type: Ti.UI.iOS.ATTRIBUTE_LINK,\r\n      value: 'http://www.appcelerator.com',\r\n      range: [0, 12]\r\n    }]\r\n  })\r\n});\r\n\r\n// will only fire on long press\r\nlabel.addEventListener('link', function(e) {\r\n  alert(e.url);\r\n});\r\n\r\nvar textField = Ti.UI.createTextField({\r\n  top: 200,\r\n  editable: false,\r\n  attributedString: Ti.UI.iOS.createAttributedString({\r\n    text: 'Appcelerator as TextField (long press)',\r\n    attributes: [{\r\n      type: Ti.UI.iOS.ATTRIBUTE_LINK,\r\n      value: 'http://www.appcelerator.com',\r\n      range: [0, 12]\r\n    }]\r\n  })\r\n});\r\n\r\n// no such event available for TextField\r\ntextField.addEventListener('link', function(e) {\r\n  alert(e.url);\r\n});\r\n\r\nvar textArea = Ti.UI.createTextArea({\r\n  top: 300,\r\n  handleLinks: true,\r\n  editable: false,\r\n  attributedString: Ti.UI.iOS.createAttributedString({\r\n    text: 'Appcelerator as TextArea with handleLinks:true (single tap)',\r\n    attributes: [{\r\n      type: Ti.UI.iOS.ATTRIBUTE_LINK,\r\n      value: 'http://www.appcelerator.com',\r\n      range: [0, 12]\r\n    }]\r\n  })\r\n});\r\n\r\n// fires on single tap\r\ntextArea.addEventListener('link', function(e) {\r\n\r\n  // has no effect, will always open URL in Safari and show alert when you come back\r\n  e.cancelBubble = true;\r\n\r\n  alert(e.url);\r\n});\r\n\r\nwin.add(label);\r\nwin.add(textField);\r\nwin.add(textArea);\r\n\r\nwin.open();\r\n{code}\r\n\r\nh1. Suggested changes:\r\n\r\n* Bring {{handleLinks}} to TextField and Label\r\n* Let {{handleLinks}} automatically set {{editable}} to {{false}}.\r\n* Use the same color and underlining of links in TextAreas as in TextFields and Labels.",
