Will do....
For the time being.. I do have a quick fix/tip/trick ....whichever....
In the Location field on the printers.conf file you can enter the Location line as follows:
Location free_text <a href="http://actual_url" Text_to_appear_as_clickable_URL</a>

Like this you will have a clickable field that can/will take you to the given printer...
its a hack I know.. but it works right now....
