Hello!  
You need to put html tags in your external text file.  
Here is an example email link.

Email: \<html\>\<[ahref="mailto:yourname@yourDomain.com](mailto:ahref=%22mailto:yourname@yourDomain.com) "\>\</a\>\</html\>

Also be sure that “Render As HTML” is selected in the properties box of your dynamic text field.

Cheers!
