how to add links (Action) to a combo box

[impact]

Hi,
I got a window now, a button on it and a combo box. The combo box got few animal name list in it. The button is a search button. Can some one please show me how to add action to these combo box lists?

for example some one selects the 3rd option and click search, I want to go to a link. For every option there will be a separate link. How do I add this in the combo box action?

I am novice in java, so please explain it to me or show me some tutorials.

Here is my combo box code:

public void addComboBox() {
    
        String[] petStrings = { "Bird", "Cat", "Dog", "Rabbit", "Pig" };
        
        //Create the combo box, select the item at index 0.
        JComboBox petList = new JComboBox(petStrings);
        petList.setSelectedIndex(0);
        petList.addActionListener(this);
        
        //Lay out the demo.
        picture = new JLabel();
        picture.setFont(picture.getFont().deriveFont(Font.ITALIC));
        picture.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
        add(petList, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
        add(picture, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
        setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(40,40,40,40));
    }
    
    // This is for ComboBox
    public void comActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
        String petName = (String)cb.getSelectedItem();
        updateLabel(petName);
    }
        
    protected void updateLabel(String name) {
        ImageIcon icon = createImageIcon("images/" + name + ".gif");
        picture.setIcon(icon);
        picture.setToolTipText("A drawing of a " + name.toLowerCase());
        if (icon != null) {
            picture.setText(null);
        } else {
            picture.setText("Image not found");
        }
    }

    /** Returns an ImageIcon, or null if the path was invalid. */
    protected static ImageIcon createImageIcon(String path) {
        java.net.URL imgURL = NewClass.class.getResource(path);
        if (imgURL != null) {
            return new ImageIcon(imgURL);
        } else {
            System.err.println("Couldn't find file: " + path);
            return null;
        }
    }

For those who want to read my codes here is the link.

Thank you very much for reading this.

just add an action listener that pops up another window.

[hardwired]

public class NewClassRx extends JPanel implements ActionListener {

    // The implementation for "this" (the enclosing class)
    // ActionListener.
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        // This method will be receiving events generated
        // by the JComboBox.
        if ("disable".equals(e.getActionCommand())) {
            b1.setEnabled(true);
        } else {
            b1.setEnabled(true);
        }
    }  

    public void addComboBox() {
        ...
        petList.addActionListener(this);
        ...
    }

    public void comActionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        JComboBox cb = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
        String petName = (String)cb.getSelectedItem();
        updateLabel(petName);
    }
}

To use your comActionPerformed you can add an anonymous listener to your comboBox and forward the event, like this:

        petList.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                // The events from the comboBox will be
                // received in this method.
                // Pass them forward to your custom method:
                comActionPerformed(e);
            }
        });
