Hmm, I haven't tested it, but it really looks like the cookbook code should still works without problem.

But why exactly do you want to do that ?
Hyperlinks are just exceptionally used in games. At most there's one at start, and/or at the end of the update, to tell players where they can support the dev. It's really not an annoyance and it's easy to not click on them.

My A.I.F. shows a nvl/history type screen throughout and I wanted to imbed hyperlinks in the text, if a menu is shown from a label and a player clicks an {a=call:label} hyperlink it will skip the menu, auto selecting the first choice.

Edit. The cookbook code works just as you thought it would, just not in the way I would have liked.

And you don't expect players to not clicks on something they don't want to click onto ?

Anyway, it will not works as you expect it. What you want to use is {a=jump:label}, because you don't intent to come back there.

I guess that it's because you loose the style. So, this would probably satisfy you more:

init python:
    def call_handlerEx(value):
        if persistent.hyperlinks_on:
            renpy.call(value)

    config.hyperlink_handlers = call_handlerEx

It prevent the link to have an action when clicked, unless persistent.hyperlinks_on is set at True. Everything else, therefore mostly the style, is kept as it.
