A Renderer for Grid which makes a cell value clickable and look like a link. This is in particular useful for **drill-down** scenario, meaning where the links are **internal** to your application. If, on the other hand, you want to create a hyperlink in your Grid to something **external** from your application then there's no need for this renderer. In that case you can simply use Vaadin's own `HtmlRenderer`. Note that drill-down was the reason why the renderer was created. It doesn't mean the renderer cannot be used for other scenarios too. See GitHub for more documentation and usage examples. I you want the equivalent renderer for Grid in Vaadin v7 then have a look here: https://vaadin.com/directory/component/clickabletextrenderer
