Have you tried using template columns?  While select datagrid columns, 
from the buttons (edit, cancel, update, select), there is a template 
column that you add.  Choose that option, close the properties page.  
Right click your grid and select edit template.  All you have to do then 
is drag any control from the toolbox into the field and there you have 
it.  In your case a hypertext control.
