Ok, I did it myself (+ the web). In case anyone is interested:

function wrapAsLink(url){
var textarea = document.getElementById("myTa");
var len = textarea.value.length;
var start = textarea.selectionStart;
var end = textarea.selectionEnd;
var sel = textarea.value.substring(start, end);
var replace = '<a href="'+url+'">' + sel + '</a>';
textarea.value =  textarea.value.substring(0,start) + replace +
textarea.value.substring(end,len);

}
