[PySide] use text as a button / hyperlink?

[Frank Rueter | OHUfx]

Hi Ludo,

that would happen inside the mousePressEvent method, right?!
I'm still not clear about the seeming redundancy between the 
mousePressEvent method and the event method. I'm sure it's just 
something in the object oriented philosophy that I'm not quite getting.

Cheers,
frank
