What's a "live URL"?

A piece of text which, when clicked, causes a browser to display
the link.

Oh I think I understand what you mean now. It sounds like you would
like to open and view a text clipping with a URL in it in the Finder,
and have the URL respond to being clicked by opening the URL in your
default web browser. Right?

Have you tried ICeCoffEE to see if it does what you want?:

Thanks JR about mentioning *further software* to enable such
things. No, I have not tried it.

Thanks to Gregory Weston too for understanding the idea
completely.

For me, clippings are a way of life and my finding (from this
group ages ago) that bits of text within them can be selected and
copied and pasted elsewhere was quite a big leap up in their
usefulness! I think Apple should implement my wish.

Btw, has Apple now made it more obvious in Leopard to select bits
of text within text clippings?
