Is it possible to hyper-link to external documents from within TextPad? Example: I would like to keep track of some external files within a TextPad note and hyper link to them and have them open in their native programs..

yes it is possible
http://, file://, mailto: works
if the cursor is in a link and you rightcklick you can go to the link
blanks need to be filled with %20

I recorded a macro that replaces
'\' with '/'
' ' (blank) with '%20'
and puts a 'file://' in front so I can copy directly an win explorer address and convert then to a valid link

really by accident I just found an old note of mine which I did not remember any more: you can open any file in TP with TP:

place cursor in path (absolute or relative !; slash or backslash as separator)
<Ctrl>-<Shift>-G - 'FileGoTo'
=> file is opened in textpad
