Q: 

Can I control the context menu on a link in htmlText when using Flex?

I created a Flex application with a textArea. I'm populating the textArea's htmlText property.

I have a context menu on the textArea, but I don't see how to make a different context menu when the user right clicks on a <a href...>link</a>. Can I control the context menu for a link displayed inside of the htmlText of a mx:TextArea?

A: 

As far as I can tell it isn't possible to change the right-click context menu on links in a textArea. It seems that someone else is also having similar problems:
