Hi All,

I usually use shellexec in Windows in "onclick" event for opening
links is there any replacement for opening links in LCL?

PS
I'm afraid that shellexec will not works in Linux.

ShellExecute has an implementation in Lazarus, but use OpenURL
instead.

QuoteShellExecute has an implementation in Lazarusyou mean I can use
ShellExecute safety in Linux, is it?

Use
  OpenDocument(Filename);
or
  OpenURL(FileName);

Both in unit LCLIntf (at least in Lazarus 0.9.29)
