How this example addon works is when you first log in / reload the ui you can open the tradeskill of your choice and it will automatically grab the skill link and send it via addonmessage to the chatframe. The addon then stops checking for the tradeskill frame being opened and closes the window. It then sees there is an addon message and grabs the link sent earlier and puts it into the fontstring set up for it.
Clicking on that link will then bring up the trade skill window ( showing the name of the link sender - in my case me ).
Looking at the tradeskill frame there is no option for WHISPERing the tradeskill link automatically as an addon message with a special prefix. So I had to use this roundabout route to get the tradeskill link and send it manually via addonmessage with the prefix.
It adds a clickable profession link to a font string so does what you are asking, you might just have to do some additional work, to make it work in your addon.
If my example doesn't work for you in 10.2.0 or 10.2.5 then mayhap something is not working right at your end and could explain the problems you are having. And as Fizzle says, we cannot help with addons not designed to work on official servers.
Lua Code:
local addonName,db = ... -- Simple Frame to display the link(s) and control how that link works when you click it local cf = CreateFrame("Frame","TestFrame",UIParent) cf:SetSize(600,100) cf:SetPoint("CENTER",0,0) cf:SetHyperlinksEnabled(true) cf:SetScript("OnHyperlinkClick", ChatFrame_OnHyperlinkShow) -- Font string that holds the text -- I am just using one, but you could have a list of strings set up cf.fs = cf:CreateFontString(nil,"OVERLAY","GameFontNormal") cf.fs:SetAllPoints() local function OnEvent(self,event,...) local args = { ... } -- Register addon message prefix when the addon is loaded if event == "ADDON_LOADED" and args[1] == addonName then local successfulRequest = C_ChatInfo.RegisterAddonMessagePrefix("XTA-AMP") if successfulRequest then db.addonMessagePrefix = "XTA-AMP" end -- This is used to get the trade skill link when they open the tradeskill frame -- If you have another way to send the addon message the link then use that elseif event =="TRADE_SKILL_SHOW" then self:RegisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_LIST_UPDATE") elseif event == "TRADE_SKILL_LIST_UPDATE" then local link = C_TradeSkillUI.GetTradeSkillListLink() local success = C_ChatInfo.SendAddonMessage(db.addonMessagePrefix, link, "WHISPER", UnitName("player")) -- Make sure we close the tradeskill frame and unregister events so that it doesn't trigger until the next reload C_TradeSkillUI.CloseTradeSkill() self:UnregisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_LIST_UPDATE") self:UnregisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_SHOW") -- Monitor Addon messages in the chat frame elseif event == "CHAT_MSG_ADDON" then -- args 1 is the prefix -- args 2 is the message if args[1] == db.addonMessagePrefix then -- set the profession link to the fontstring requiring it -- remember I am using a single fontstring, if you are using multiple, make sure you are updating the correct one cf.fs:SetText(args[2] or "") end end end local f = CreateFrame("Frame") f:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED") f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN") f:RegisterEvent("TRADE_SKILL_SHOW") f:RegisterEvent("CHAT_MSG_ADDON") f:SetScript("OnEvent",OnEvent)

Wow thanks Xrystal!! this solution works but I don't know why (I'm a beginner addon developer :P)! You are very kind! Thanks a lot Fizzlemizz too for time and advice!
