I've seen it.

Yes, that's an answer we have to live with. Anyway using a panel might
work but is IMO a rather worse hack. The real solution would be
wxHyperLink is derived from wxControl. But that means OnPaint, etc. have
to be written like any ordinary custom control. It might be possible to
look at the code of the wxStaticText from wxUniv which should not be
based on any native control.

I don't have the time to do this myself, so you either someone else does
it or look around on the web for a better solution.
