I am not sure what kind of widget you are using with your QStandardItems but I don't think you want to use a delegate in this situation simply listen for the QListWidget/QTreeWidget/QTableWidget::itemClicked ( QListWidgetItem * item ) signal
(most of the widgets that inherit QAbstractItemView provide a similar signal)

QStandardItem* item = new QStandartItem("my text");
item->setData("www.mylink.com", Qt::UserRole);
 
...
 
void onItemClicked(QListWidgetItem * item)
{
QString mylink = item->data(Qt::UserRole).toString();
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(mylink));
}

QStandardItem* item = new QStandartItem("my text");
item->setData("www.mylink.com", Qt::UserRole);

...

void onItemClicked(QListWidgetItem * item)
{
QString mylink = item->data(Qt::UserRole).toString();
QDesktopServices::openUrl(QUrl(mylink));
}

Generally you only need to use an item delegate if you want to display the items differently (like with an icon and on multiple lines etc)
