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');
