Hyperlink

✖
`Hyperlink`

✖

Hyperlink[uri]

represents a hyperlink that jumps to the specified URI when clicked.

✖

Hyperlink[label,uri]

represents a hyperlink to be displayed as label.

Details and Options

The following forms of URIs can be used:

	"string"	a URI such as "http://www.wolfram.com"
	URL["url"]	an explicit URL
	File["filepath"]	a local notebook file
	{"file.nb",None}	a complete local notebook file
	{"file.nb","tag"}	the first cell with the specified tag in a local notebook file

Local notebook files can be specified by relative paths such as "../file.nb". The base of the paths is taken to be the location of the notebook that contains the hyperlink.
Hyperlink can be used with graphics or any other expression.
Hyperlink objects can appear within graphics.
By default, Hyperlink renders label in "Hyperlink" style.
When the mouse is over label, it is by default rendered in "HyperlinkActive" style.
The following options can be given:

	ActiveStyle	"HyperlinkActive"	style to add when hovering over the hyperlink
	BaseStyle	"Hyperlink"	base styles for the hyperlink
	HyperlinkAction	"New"	action to take when following the hyperlink

Supported URI types include "http", "file", "ftp", and "mailto".
URIs that begin with "paclet:" directly access Wolfram System documentation and other resources.
Hyperlinks of different types are handled as follows:
notebook file URI open in current Wolfram System session

non-notebook file URI open through operating system

non-file URI open in a web browser
In a standard notebook front end, hyperlinks can be inserted using the Hyperlink item in the Insert menu.
clicking a hyperlink will always open a new notebook window, even if an existing window could have been used.
In a cloud notebook, Hyperlink with a target outside that notebook will open a new browser window or tab by default. The option HyperlinkAction"Recycled" may be given to reuse the existing view.
