We already have Open,Edit,Remove Hyperlink in the context menu when a hyperlink is selected. Similar we should have an "Insert Hyperlink" item when the user selects a piece of text which is not yet a hyperlink. This should be placed below the "Insert comment" item. This allows quick hyperlink creation using the context menu. MSO and GDocs have a similiar option in their context menu.
