Here a nice Listview implementation for Fox:

I'm sure, Hyperlinks shouldn't be that hard to implement (underline the
text and check for mouse clicks).

Otherwise, maybe Fltk is an option (http://ruby-fltk.sourceforge.net/).

Or if platform independence is no issue for you, there's VRuby
(http://www.osk.3web.ne.jp/~nyasu/vruby/vrproject-e.html). VRuby uses
the native Windows API.

Not to mention Apollo, which combines Ruby and Delphi
(http://www.moriq.com/apollo/index-en.html).
