URL Widget
The URL widget is a passive widget that opens a link to a specified webpage when clicked. A URL widget can be either a rectangle with a text label or a specified image. If the URL widget is a rectangle, you can specify its background color, width, and height.
URLs are shown as rectangles by default, but you can set an image for a URL within the widget popup or the widget text file.
