Try setting the label text to "<qt><b>something bold</b><a 
href="http://www.arnoldarts.de">a link</a></qt>" and see what happens.

There is a difference between a whole label that is clickable (and should be 
replaced by a proper button) and a link inside a labels text (which will 
automaticly be marked as a link and the mouse-cursor will change too).
