I *believe* what you want is something like this:
Click http://ask-leo.com">here to go to Ask Leo!
Will display as
Click here to go to Ask Leo!
with "here" a clickable link.
What you're really doing is writing HTML - the language that
webpages and rich-text email is encoded in. There are lots of
resources and books on the topic. This one, by a friend of mine,
might be a place to start:

And, no, I don't know of any shortcuts to ask a question about
something where you don't know the right terminology :-). It's
an age-old problem. Best advice is to ask someone who might know.
Like you did :-).
Thanks,
Leo
