Panel:InsertClickableTextStart#520249
<function name="InsertClickableTextStart" parent="Panel" type="classfunc">
	<description>
Starts the insertion of clickable text for a <page>RichText</page> element. Any text appended with <page>Panel:AppendText</page> between this call and <page>Panel:InsertClickableTextEnd</page> will become clickable text.
The hook <page>PANEL:ActionSignal</page> is called when the text is clicked, with "TextClicked" as the signal name and `signalValue` as the signal value.
<note>The clickable text is a separate Derma panel which will not inherit the current font from the `RichText`.</note>
