• You could use a textarea for this.

  If you don't want the user to edit it you can put it as ' editable: false '.

  To detect the links you can use the property ' autoLink '.

  Here's an example:

  var textarea = Titanium.UI.createTextArea({
      top: 10,
      left: 10,
      right: 10,
      bottom: 10,
      borderRadius: 10,
      editable: false, //This property can be removed if you want the user to edit the text
      width: '90%',
      color: '#888',
      height: '140',
      value: "Value of the field, if it contains an URL like www.google.com it will be highlighted and clickable",
      font: {
          fontSize: 13,
          fontFamily: 'Helvetica-Bold'
      },
      autoLink: Ti.UI.AUTODETECT_ALL
  });
  

  Hope this solves your problem

• The best way to do this is with a click event listener and calling this in the event listener to the url you desire

• I'm pretty use you'd need to use a webView to do that on iOS, then use some JS in the head script of the webView contents to fire a custom event back in to your main JS script depending on what you want to happen when a link is clicked.
