In that case, what's this for?
http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qlabel.html#linkActivated

  (as a side note: how does one use the above? There's no setLink() or
anything else on QLabel that seems relevant...)

Unless that is classed as having functionality for proper look and feel.
Hyperlinks? These are labels that are clickable...
