Sometimes you'd like to have a clickable label or a button that automatically opens a browser to a give link/URL. Lazarus (FreePascal) offers an often missed function that takes the headache away. The funtion can be found in the unit lclintf and is called OpenURL().

function OpenURL(AURL: String): Boolean;

(Reference)

A simple call could be:

OpenURL('//www.tweaking4all.com');

Don't forget to add "lclintf" to your Uses clause ...
