Two questions for this one.

First question:
I have this code that I’ve been messing with. I have it displaying my message the way that I want, but I would like two parts of it to be Hyperlinks.

Code:
Sub Workbook_AfterSave(ByVal Success As Boolean)


    If Success Then


        Dim OutApp As Object
        Dim OutMail As Object
        Dim strbody As String
        
'added these 2 variables
        Dim WinFilePath As String
        Dim MacFilePath As String
        


        Set OutApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
        Set OutMail = OutApp.CreateItem(0)


'This is the location on the server where the Road Support form is located.
        WinFilePath = "\\FILESERVERXX\Shared\RTR"


'This is the same loaction as WinFilePath but formatted for Mac users.
        MacFilePath = "smb:\\FILESERVERXX\Shared\RTR"


'Edit "strbody" to change the E-mail message
        strbody = "Hello there! - The Road Support Form has been updated by " & Environ("USERNAME") & " at " & Format(Now(), "ddd dd mmm yy hh:mm") & vbCr & vbCr & "The updated file can be found at:" & vbCr & "For Windows Users: " & WinFilePath & vbCr & vbCr & "For Macitosh Users:" & MacFilePath




'Edit the recipients below.
        On Error Resume Next
        With OutMail
            .To = ""
            .Subject = "The Road Support form has been Updated" & " - " & Format(Now(), "ddd dd mmm yy")
            .Body = strbody
            .display
        End With


        On Error GoTo 0


        Set OutMail = Nothing
        Set OutApp = Nothing


    End If


End Sub

I want WinFilePath and MacFile Path to be Hyperlinks in the Email body.

Second question:

How can i get this to work in MacOS environment?
As is, MacOS won't allow for the creation of the Outlook Object.
My brief research on this says that I either:
Can't do this,
or i might be able to use an AppleScript.

Help on the First question and advice on the Second is much appreciated.

Thank you for you time.
