You can use the \<a href\> html tag on your external txt file and of course enable html on your textfield.

You need to use:

```auto
myTextField.html = true;
myTextField.htmlText = myVar;

```

Where myTextField is the instance name for your textfield and myVar is the variable inside the txt file.
