    Script makes hyperlinks for any text in document that look like url
    and also inserts zero width spaces between characters of the text
    so that messy urls will break close to column edge

function main() {
    var doc = app.activeDocument;

    // find all the URLs in document
    app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = 'https?://[^ \n\r]+';
    // this will be a collection of texts
    var found = doc.findGrep();

    for (var i = found.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        var text = found[i],
            url = text.contents;

        // set up hyperlink
        var hyperlinkSource = doc.hyperlinkTextSources.add(text),
            hyperlinkDestination = doc.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add(url, { hidden: true }),
            hyperlink = doc.hyperlinks.add(hyperlinkSource, hyperlinkDestination),
            name = url,
            counter = 2;
        while (doc.hyperlinks.itemByName(name).isValid) {
            name = url + ' ' + String(counter);
            counter++;
        }
        hyperlink.name = name;

        // add discretionary breaks (zero width spaces) to text
        for (var j = text.insertionPoints.length - 1; j >= 0; j--)
            text.insertionPoints[j].contents = '\u200B';
    }
