Creating a button:

    #[imgui( 
        button(size = "button_size", 
        label = "Click me!", 
        catch ="click"),
        separator,
        display(label = "Clicks"),
    )] 
    count: i32, } 
const fn button_size() -> (f32, f32){ 
(100.0, 20.0)
}

However, opening a webpage is a bit harder since it depends on the api of the os that you're using. Doing that for windows and mac would look like this:

void OsOpenInShell(const char* path) { 
#ifdef _WIN32 
    // Note: executable path must use  backslashes! 
    ::ShellExecuteA(NULL, "open", path, NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWDEFAULT); 
#else 
#if __APPLE__ const char* open_executable = "open"; 
#else 
    const char* open_executable = "xdg 
    open"; 
#endif char command[256]; 
    snprintf(command, 256, "%s \"%s\"", 
    open_executable, path); 
    system(command); 
#endif

Then you could put the previous code inside this:

let events = ui.imgui_ext(&mut buttons); 
if events.click { 
 *insert code*
 }
