The google AutoLink feature doesn't do anything AUTOMATICALLY. It is only done when a user moves their mouse up to the toolbar and clicks the button. So go ahead and create toolbar with an option that is user initiated and its fine. Its baffling how many people just don't get it, the user has to activate the feature every single time they want to use it.
