Question

Is there a way to put a link on text (not whitespace)?

When I create a Link widget with some localized text, the entire space of the widget is clickable, not just the text.  This is a particular problem for localization, since we can't tailor the widget width to a specific string.  Is there a way around this?

I'm using ThingWorx 6.6.2 but we plan to upgrade to 7.1 soon.

You could customize the Link widget to make its Width property an input parameter.

If "make a custom widget" turns out to be the best approach, I'd just go all the way and make one that only links the text.  (Is there actually a way to customize the built-in Composer widgets?  Is their source code available somewhere?)

Yes, you can find them in "$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/Thingworx/Common/thingworx/widgets" and build new ones instead of replace these built-in widgets.
