May I offer some feedback @Tatom, although I recognize you haven't explicitly invited any!
Anyone who interacts with a system of any kind has a right to reflect on how it could be better by any definition of the word. Such freedom of thought is closely followed by freedom of speech ... share the idea / the observation / the question!
Depending on the context, the communication may warrant excitement, or perhaps disappointment, but regardless, we all communicate ultimately with the hope that we might make some small difference in the world.
You have expertise and experience that any system designer will hope to cherish, but the potential influence of your feedback here is, I think, tarnished by its inference that you want perfection and you want it now. That is an unrealistic expectation of any system design team, as much as I'm certain the Affinity product team would love to achieve as much. They, like you and me in our day jobs, always have a long to-do list. We all have to make decisions about priorities. We all have resource constraints. That's just life.
Yet give them some love in the process and perhaps your ideas / observations / questions will get lifted, and so too your agency in the world.
Best wishes.

The solution is rather convoluted. You will need to be using the Node tool so both objects will need to be curves, not "Quick Shapes" (the Rectangle tool draws Quick Shapes). And you will nee to have the Align to nodes of selected curves or the Snap to geometry of selected curves turned on in the Node tool's Context toolbar. Now you will need to have Both objects selected (so the nodes are showing). Finally you will need to have all the nodes on the Shape B selected (they will turn solid blue instead of being hollow)  by dragging a marquee around them, or by shift Clicking them, then you can grab one one of the solid blue nodes and snap to whatever on the Shape A.

It makes no sense to have clickable links in a printed document. So that setting defaults to off when you're exporting a PDF using the For Print preset, for example.

I believe turning off hyperlinks in InDesign changes their appearance but not in Publisher at this time. Perhaps someday.

If none of the links are clickable in another PDF viewer, are you sure you clicked the Include Hyperlinks checkbox when exporting that time? It's very easy to miss.
I can't duplicate any issues. Here are PDFs exported from Affinity and Apple Pages using the URL of this thread. Both are valid PDFs with links spanning multiple lines. Preview does it thing to both of them, mucking up the first line, but clicking on any line other than the first will work. Both work fine in Chrome and in Acrobat.

It's not in the dropdown list. You'll have to copy it from text elsewhere. ‘Indent to here’ is command + \ on mac or menu Text > Insert > Spaces and tabs > Indent to here.
In the screenshots you can see what it looks like in the Number text box and in the note itself.
Hope this helps.
 

Replace the paragraph break with a line break (shift + return). That should do it.

Really? Here's a screen recording showing how to do it.
FYI the square brackets denote the start and end of an endnote. They are non-printing characters made visible on screen only with Show Special Characters. Ensure your text is typed inside the end brackets, some people with Show Special Characters off mess that up.
I'm unsure why your #2 note is so large compared to your first note. If you define a style in Note Body Style they should all be the same size.

Here's the bug report I created for this.
 

Every time I think a problem is not PBKAC, it is! And now I've humbly suggested it is, and it isn't. 😆

Thanks @MikeTO

Thanks @G13RL ... reckon that's going to be the best way for me to proceed.
Saying that, the joy of this forum is learning new things about Designer ... in this instance, @Lagarto is taking things to places I've not yet been. I know I will find time to explore 😁 .. thanks.

Thanks @Lagarto @Alfred.

I had a couple of really clunky ways to proceed. I think your ways are less clunky, but still not approaching ideal as I know you know!

If nothing else, I use the same method as Alfred, but I created an asset with the lines, this way the fill is always the same, regardless of its orientation and it is available for other documents.

Hi, I am trying to save a document (publisher) I just started and keep getting error messages: Save failed because the file could not be written to.
Does anybody know what this means and how I can save my document? I am using the latest version of affinity and Mac,
 
thanks,
petra

Im having the same issue, about to switch back to adobe. 5 hours of work for a leading car company, GONE! 
 
would love a resolve, only happened to me since the latest update, 1.9 i believe....

I just got the error "Savefailedbecause the file could not be written to."
 
I was working on local hard drive, did not move any files. I lost hours of work because there was not autosave.
Can you help solve this problem?

Hi psheld,
Thanks for the additional info. The issue was already assigned to a developer but there wasn't progress here yet, sorry.
