I would like the ability to show a hand cursor over some UI elements in my plugin dialog.

For example, I have a text in my plugin UI dialog and it does not clear that it is a hyperlink. If I could show a hand cursor on hover it might make it more clear.

This feature will become available with the future uxp update (expected ~XD 22)

As I understand cursor: pointer already works in plugins so it can be easily implemented using styles.

It looks like `cursor:pointer` is working. I’ve tested, spans, divs, images and anchors. I’m testing in version 19, OSX. I’m reclaiming my vote (if it’s working in Windows too).
