Build Identifier: 3.5.2

Chris Aniszczyk is providing forms support.  See Bug #283549.  This opens the door for better forms support.  However, FormText widgets do not support embedded hyperlinks in that there is no way to programmatically click them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an FormText widget with an embedded hyperlink using the A HTML element.
2. Add the new forms support (you may need to download the supporting projects from Bug #283549).
3. You will be able to "see" the FormText widget using the new APIs, but the API does not provide a way to click the embedded link.
