Discoverability trick: if the word "error:" is a hyperlink, most
users will know that they can interact with that error message.
Since clicking a hyperlink is standard behavior in a modern UI,
there wouldn't be a (pressing) need to document the behavior.<br>
<br>
In addition, a blue, underlined hyperlink fits perfectly with Pd's
1990s motif aesthetic.<br>
