Design page for task: "Add support for displaying hyperlinks in reports".

It should be possible to display text fields as hyperlinks.

Note that future rich text support in text fields will support hyperlinks in a HTML way.

add a "hyperlink data source" property aside of "text data source", so both can be obtained from the db
the URL can be based on data from a data source, or
the URL can be based on static text set in a hyperlink property
by default the font should be underlined and somewhat blue-colored (honor the format changes though)
after generating a PDF or PS, the links should be clickable (assuming the URL is provided)

The links should be displayed as underlined with default hyperlink style. This applies also to local paths.
