Two hyperlinks in a cell in Excel - possible?

hi Folks
Got asked an odd question...the person wanted to know if it was possible to have two hyperlinks in the same cell. I was inclined to say No. But wanted to check first. I'm sure it can be done with some VBA wizardry but it's not that high a priority for the person. Is it possible?

Thank you both for that. Giving you both equal points but awarding Peter Hutchison best solution simply because it's a possible workaround....

I tries peter's suggestion above, but the comment hyperlink does not appear to be clickable

There is a method/workaround where you could use the OLE features of Excel to insert objects from programs
that support multiple hyperlinks.

This clunky method uses a vlookup to make the cell dynamic and allow a choice of hyperlinks

That was bad luck, the question closed while I was researching!
(and there also other solutions out there)

@Eirman - this user just asked me in passing because he had come across it once before. I think the mrexcel solution would be the equivalent of a sledgehammer and a nut :-). He just wanted an easy way and while my feeling was that it wasn't possible I just wanted to check for him. But thanks for looking to research it anyway :-) appreciated.
