Zoho CRM - Adding Related List to Potentials Using Custom Function

Zoho CRM - Adding Related List to Potentials Using Custom Function

I have created a Related List for the Potentials module using a Custom Function.  The Custom Function uses a "getUrl" call to Zoho Creator (outside of CRM) to retrieve XML formated data.  The Custom Function then uses "executePath" to parse the Zoho Creator response XML, and it generates the new XML for Zoho CRM to use as the Related List data, i.e.:

<record>
    <row no="1">
       <FL val="column header 1"> parsed data from Creator </FL>
        <FL val="column header 2"> parsed data from Creator </FL>
        <FL val="column header 3"> parsed data from Creator </FL>
      </row>
      <row no="2">
        .
      </row>
</record>

It all works fine, but my problem is this...I want to insert an HTML hyperlink, i.e. <a href='...'>anchortext</a>, into the XML so that the user can click and navigate to the Zoho Creator record being displayed in the Related List.  Zoho CRM seems to strip out the HTML which prevents a link from being rendered.  I've tried using xlink but that does not do it.

Does anybody have a [better] way to do this.  Ultimately, I'm trying to display Creator data ( from outside of CRM) in a Related List with a way for the user to click into the record in the Creator application.
