PDF form turning www... into links

Question

I was asked to create a fillabel PDF from a fixed design. In one of the boxes the person should type or paste: Links to companies.
The customer wants any text in the form, that is a link (http://www....) - to be convertet into an accual link that he can click on and get directet to the site.
Is that possible? In the "text field properties" > "format" you can choose number, percent, date, time... But not www-link. Can you do it via a javascript?
Ther persons filling out the form does nog hav the Acrobat DS PRO... Only the DS version.

This is possible using a script, but only if the full text is a link (not just part of it) and it interferes with the editing of the field, as the link will open when the user clicks into the field to edit it. One workaround for that is to only open the URL when a modifier key (Ctrl on Windows, Command on Mac) is pressed when clicking the field.
