In "enhanced mode" type the word you want to show i.e., "click here", then highlight it with your mouse. Click on the blue globe in the panel of icons above the post box. It will give you a box to either type or paste in the url. Delete the "http://" that is prepopulated in the box.
If you wish to change the colour of the words i.e., "click here", go back after you have put the url in, highlight again and either click on bold or change the colour by clicking on the A.
How do I insert a link to a specific post in a thread?
The number at the top-right of every post is a link. If you click on the eg., #10 on the 10th post of a thread, you can see that post all by itself.
When you clicked #10 you might have noticed that the url ended in eg., ..../showpost.html?p=150239&postcount=10
To create a url direct to that post remove the "&postcount=10" and replace it with eg., postcount150239
