# Description

Use the linkHiliteColor property to make grouped text look and behave like links in a browser.

The linkHiliteColor appears to show that grouped text is being clicked. When the mouse button is released, the text color changes to the linkVisitedColor.

If the linkHiliteColor of a stack is empty, grouped text in that stack is shown with the global linkHiliteColor property when being clicked.

If the linkHiliteColor of a stack is not empty, grouped text in that stack is shown with the stack linkHiliteColor property, regardless of the global setting.
