Thank a lot Bill,
     it works now as it should !


I followed you advice and defined a new parameter  in hash of the config
file

# Example swish.cgi configuration script.
 return {
  title =3D> 'My swish-e search model x ',
  max_query_length =3D> 300,
...
...
# 2004-05-06 list properties that should be presented as html-links
#  these are full "<A href=3D ..   </a>" html-links.
 props_not2escape  =3D> 'LinkToAleph LinkToDocText',
}

Then modified swish.cgi

Original:
        # not highlighted, so escape
         html_escape( $props->{$prop} ); # standard swish.cgi code
suppresses html links in properties :-(

New:
        # vbe; 2004-04-06 mod. code, excludes "<a href html" properties =
from
        # html-escaping thus providing html-linking out from the =
property
field.
        # List the properties in the string props_not2escape in the
.swishcgi.conf
        #
        html_escape( $props->{$prop} )
               unless index( $self->{config}{props_not2escape},$prop) > =
-1;
# 2004-04-06 mod. END
