Hyperlinks within comments are working. Dan Ingalls implemented them.
They have been working for a long time but as not many people up until
now 
have been writing class comments the hyperlinks haven't been used much
actually.



How to do hyperlinks in class comment (actually in any text string)?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------

Let's say you want to link to the class comment of Morph.
You just select the word 'Morph' and type ALT-6.
>From the menu you choose 'Link to comment of class' and voila - you have
your link.

To link the initialize method of Morph you type
Morph initialize
select it
type ALT-6
and choose 'Link to method'


If you want to link to the class method newBounds:color

you type
  Morph class newBounds:color
select it -> ALT 6 and choose 'Linkt to method'

There are even more possibilites.
