I'd like to use hyperlinks to paste partial commands at the prompt, and allow the player to finish typing the command, but when I use the built-in hyperlink behavior of Flexible Windows, clicking the link automatically submits the text as a complete command. Is there a way to just paste the text and leave it be?

Unlike most questions about FW this isn't one I can instantly answer haha. I've haven't used the hyperlink stuff much. Maybe someone else will know.
