(ADMIN -- moved this to its own thread.)
Under the text box, there's a setting called "input format" that lets you use a little HTML to make the link.

I must be just an old guy without a feel for modern technology, (or HTML) I looked at the input options and for the life of me I can't figure out how to make a hotlink.
Oh well, I lived without being able to do it up to now so I will just have to keep going forward without being a technology sophisticated hip guy.
Thanks for trying to teach an old dog a new trick

I just installed an updated module that automatically recognizes URLs and turns them into hyperlinks.
As before, only active users can create hyperlinks; but now there's no need to type out the HTML to make them work.
Just remember to use the "input format" to select "Filtered HTML with Hyperlinks".
