The /hotlink command can be used to override the default popups menu when right clicking a word and triggering the on hotlink event.

Synopsis[edit]

/hotlink -md [@menu]

Switches[edit]

• -m - Creates a custom popup menu using a custom @menu
• -d - If you are rightclicking a type recognized by mIRC (such as an url, a nickname, or a channel), it adds the default popups for that type to the final popups menu

Parameters[edit]

• @menu - a custom menu to be used for the popup menu (only needed if you use -m)

Example[edit]

1) Add a right click menu item to look up commands and identifiers in the help file on mouse hover of /command and $identifier.

menu @helppop  {
  Lookup Help $1:!help $remove($1, $chr(40), $chr(41))
}
on $*:hotlink:/^[/$]\S+/:*:{
  if ($hotlink(event) == rclick) {
    hotlink -m @helppop 
  }
}

2) Override mIRC's default popups for nickname and replace them with... mIRC's default popups! (useless but that's to show /hotlink -d, this isn't handling /return or halt to show the hand)

on *:hotlink:*:*:{
  if ($hotlink(event) $hotlink(match).type == rclick nick) {
    ;no @menu with -d
    hotlink -d
  }
}
