Starting from the TextEditor sample would work, though depending on the format of the text from a web service, using UIWebView might be easier.

If you are able to find links in the text w/o using data detectors, you can apply a OALinkAttributeName attribute with a NSURL value to the applicable range of the NSAttributedString you hand over to OUIEditableFrame. Of course, if you are doing this, you may also find it is easier to fetch the results from your web service and internally convert them to HTML and use a UIWebView. OUIEditableFrame may not be the right tool for the job, though it probably can be made to do it.
