What would be then the title of this use case?

'Creating text with active links'
or
'Creating text with Smalltalk actions'
or just
'Creating active text'?

It could be linked from the page http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/2226 
  (Text).

David N. Smith spent an hour on the Swiki looking for something like 
this so there should be probably more links as well.

Another question: Is it possible to change the hidden Smalltalk action
without just deleting an rewriting it?
