 When you paste a link into the window, for example:

 http://www.angelfire.com/super/badwebs/

 Then before sending it replace "angelfire.com/super/badwebs" with
 "google.com"

 The recipient clicks on http://www.google.com but goes to somewhere else.

 I understand that you might want to replace the link text with something
 else, but if the underlined part starts with "http://" or "https://" or
 perhaps "<anything>://", then the underlined text should also be the link
 target.
