Not having access to a Mac, I can't say what commands are or are not available for adding to the QAT - I simply described how to go about finding them. FWIW, the PC and Mac versions of Office have never had exactly the same feature set. You shouldn't take the omission of a feature from Office 2011 as an indication of the future for all Office versions; Office 2008, after all, didn't even support vba!

As to what MS or any other developer intends for the future, who knows? Be that as it may, even if the hyperlink buttons aren't available natively in Word 2011, it should be possible to create some and add them to the app along with the vba code to drive them. In all likelihood, the buttons are actually font characters in one of the Office font files.
