Another great addition for Notes Client usability is an easier way for users to create hyperlinks! Finally there is a quick way to do this! Previously, you would have to go through several menu levels or remember ALT+C+H+L and then fill in a properties box that may be confusing for the casual user. But in 8.5.1, this should be easier to accomplish.
After selecting the text you would like to use for the link, you can either choose the Create > Hyperlink menu item:

Or you can choose a toolbar option:

This will then bring you the following dialog when you're creating a new memo:

This will be a welcome improvement for Lotus Notes users!!
Disclaimer: Notes 8.5.1 is still in
Beta and therefore subject to change between now and its ship date.

Please, oh please, tell me that they put this functionality in the right mouse click menu. If not, someone should be taken out back for doing a half-assed implementation of a good idea. This is the kind of thing that MS sales reps jump all over.
Sean, all I can say is that in the current build I have that the right-click functionality does not exist. Though I agree that it's would be a great idea!
Great idea and implementation can further improved. When there is a URL (http://...) in the clipboard already, that Link should be inserted straight without further prompt.
