Currently Ant hyperlink parsing not only creates a FileObject for every hyperlink, but retains a reference to that FileObject for as long as the output is displayed. This is wasteful, since the FileObject may never be needed; only if the link is clicked. Should change AntOutputStream to not force creation of the hyperlink; and to keep only a URL or File internally, until the link is actually activated. Should be compatible for existing AOS subclasses (though there aren't any).
