Default hyperlink in a form field?

No, that isn't possible, at least not literally like you said. You'd
have to program a macro to convert the form field result to a
hyperlink.

Do you want the hyperlink to replace the dropdown (so you wouldn't be
able to change it again) or do you want it next to the field, or
somewhere else? The macro can do either, but it makes a difference.

Do you expect a click on the hyperlink to mail the document to that
address? In that case, you don't really need to insert the email
address in the form; the macro can send the document directly (see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/InterDev/SendMail.htm).
