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 URIopen in current Wolfram System session
    non-notebook file URIopen through operating system
    non-file URIopen 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.
