How to add hyperlink in specific text?

I want to have a hyperlink in my Title text but not all the text in the title will be clickable, the only clickable is the Date. And when I click it will show a small calendar pick so I can choose specific date. Is it possible? The default date is the current date. See below screenshot and code.

alt text

  <input type="link" token="timetok">
            <label>timeNow</label>
            <fieldForLabel>Choose</fieldForLabel>
            <fieldForValue>Choose</fieldForValue>
            <search>
              <query>|makeresults 
    | eval Choose=strftime(now()," %b %d, %Y") 
    | eval choose=strptime(Choose," %b %d, %Y")
    | table Choose choose</query>
              <done>
                <set token="timetok">$result.Choose$</set>
                <set token="timetok1">$result.choose$</set>
              </done>
            </search>
          </input>

Try replacing the title with the HTLM tags and using that. Something like this:

<html><h3>Out of Office Summary for <a href="your link">$timetok$</a></h3></html>

You can change the size of the title by adjusting your header attributes. H1 is bigger and gets smaller as you go higher.

I actually just saw the calendar pick part of the question. That more seems like an input option rather than hyperlink. That is a bit more complex. I'll see if I can come up with something for that.
