hyperlinks in text fields / text areas

hyperlinks in text fields / text areas

Instead of plain text I also want to add hyperlinks to webpages, just any kind of URL, for example in lead notes I can do so but the hyperlink text is not decorated at all, now underline, now specific coloring, nothing. I have to manually recognize the string as a hyperlink, explicitly select the entire string, right-click and then chosse "go to ..." (this URL). That's pretty clumsy.

Is there no easier way of inserting true hyperlinks, like in (m)any other applications?
