Show pop-up dialog box from hyperlink

Question

I would like to allow a user to click a hyperlink on the report that could be used to print, or email a report somewhere.
What I am hoping to do is once the user clicks the hyperlink then I will pop-up a box that will allow the user to enter an email address to send the report to, or what printer to print it to. Once the email address has been entered and they click OK, then I will call the report again with the correct parameters for destype, desname, and desformat.
Is something like this possible? I know I could do all of this from Forms, but I am looking for something to use inside reports, since we have many levels of "drill-downs" in reports.
Any suggestions, or experiences would be greatly appreciated.

No JavaLEar, that won't work, not even if we disregard your somewhat confused logic in the if-statements (you are calling System.exit(0) if the user choose "No", which would be very suprising to most users).
But there is a very simple solution to the OP's problem:
    public class Sample extends JFrame {
        public Sample() {
                // Instruct the frame to not do anything when a close-event is
                // triggered. We will be closing the frame manually in the WindowListener
                // below:
             setDefaultCloseOperation(DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
             addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
                 public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                     int selection = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,
                             "do you want to close window?", "Sample",
                             JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION,
                             JOptionPane.WARNING_MESSAGE);
                     if( selection == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION ) {
                         // If the user answered "Yes", we close the frame
                         dispose();
                         // and call System.exit(0) if the whole application
                        // should
                         // terminate:
                         System.exit(0);
                     // If the user pressed "No" or "Cancel" we don't have to
                     // do anything.
    }Hope this helps.
