  This sounds like a completely bogus bug in Emacs and XEmacs to me.
Make them fix it. :)

  Emacs/W3 uses widget-convert-text, like so:

(widget-convert-text 'link start-pos end-pos start-pos end-pos link-info)

  You just have an appropriate :action specified in link-info and just make 
that function do what you want.
