GuiMessageVectorCtrl - "Specials" ?

Does anyone know what these "specials" are in GuiMessageVectorCtrl ?
TDN is pretty quiet on the subject.

eg, it looks like the intent is to let you click URLs in there:

[b]GuiMessageVectorCtrl::onMouseUp()[/b]
//.....
   findSpecialFromCoord(globalToLocalCoord(event.mousePoint), &currSpecialLine, &currSpecialRef);
//.....
      Con::executef(this, 2, "urlClickCallback", copyURL);
//.....

i tried adding text marked-up as if for a GuiMLText ctrl, but it doesn't really do much...

(this is related to what i was persuing in this thread.)

Answer:
if you set %myControl.allowedmatches[0] = "http";
then you can get a callback.

still haven't registered the callback, but i'm sure that's the solution..
