Why can’t I click on that URL?

One of the things I dislike about Lotus Notes is that URLs (links to web sites) are not clickable when you are editing a document.  Most of the time this is not too big of a deal, but one place it does bother me is when I open an "Appointment" entry on my calendar which contains a URL. (link to a web conference, shared document, web site, etc).  The problem is that Appointments (not meetings sent my someone else) open in "edit mode", so the links are not clickable.  So a quick little tip to make those URLs clickable is to press CTRL+E which toggles the document back into "read mode".
