Do you mean redirecting, as in you click a link to http://hidebehind.com/B109DE and the browser goes to that site, then redirects to another (to avoid a block on linking to certain sites or something), or just making the text of the link look different from the address it is linking to (i don't know what the point of that would be, you'll see the real link on the info bar at the bottom of your browser).
The first way you need a site that will re-direct you and isnt blocked, like hidebehind.com (http://hidebehind.com/free-url-redirect.php).
That way you can give a hidebehind.com url that then forwards on to whatever other url you want.
If you just want to make the text of the link look different (nothing out of the ordinary as most links are embedded in text that isnt the url), then for vbulletin its:
whatever text you want (http://www.URLofwherethelinkactuallygoes.com)
In html its:
<a href=http://www.URLofwherethelinkactuallygoes.com>whatever text you want</a>.
Just changing the text of the link inst redirecting, and it will still show the proper url on the info bar down the bottom of your browser when you mouse over it so it would only be useful for tricking a complete moron into clicking a link to something other than they expect.
You don't need a gui to create (hyper)links. You just follow DarthPaul's of my example and modify the URL and the text that is shown for the link.
