Hi Bruno,

Maybe I am missing your point here, but this both underlines and wraps 
and makes a working hyperlink in 10.3's Preview. Requires the ulem 
package. I got the \newcommand{\cuuline} from someone else, maybe the 
author of ulem. I don't remember.  It's a double underline, but I just 
define one color as "white" to make it a single underline.


\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{color}  % << color package is required
\usepackage{ulem} % << ulem package is required

%red over blue double under line-- swap red and blue in second line to 
make it blue over red
\newcommand{\cuuline}{\bgroup\markoverwith{\hbox{\kern-.03em\vtop%
{\begingroup\kern.2ex\color{blue}\hrule width.2em\kern1.1pt\color{red}%
\hrule\endgroup\kern-.03em}}}\ULon}

\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref} %goes last to redefine the world.

\begin{document}

%this is asample of the command in use

Steve Jobs says,  ``I think 
\href{ht½0V£/www.apple.com}{\cuuline{different.}}''.
