If the <b>linkText</b> of <glossary tag="grouped text">grouped text</glossary> is set to a value, the value is passed with the <message tag="linkClicked">linkClicked</message> <keyword tag="message box">message</keyword> when the user clicks the text. This lets you use the <b>linkText</b> to specify the destination of a link or other data to use when the text is clicked.</p>
