I'm making a Windows Store app in C# and I have a normal TextBlock with a link inside it. And all I want to do it to make the cursor change into a hand when it goes over the text block, but unlike in WPF applications, there is no Cursor propriety. I know is a CoreCursor class in Windows.UI.Core. Am I suppose to use it somehow?
