Bilel Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello, I really need this feature for a project. How to make a text link to a url with AD? Is it possible ? If not, do you know an other way to put it ? Thank you. Regards. Bilel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 1, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 1, 2016 Hello Bilel, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently there's no way to set a text link in Affinity Designer. You didn't say how the project will be used/exported. If you intend to export it to PDF for example, you can use a third party app to add links to the text.

PixelPest Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 While the SVG standard supports linking you can try to edit the file in a text-editor and add it manually. Should look like something as: id="a8232" target="" xlink:href="https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/"> <image onclick="https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/" width="66.585808" height="66.585808" preserveAspectRatio="none" xlink:href="data:image/ I attached a example file here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/20679-can-i-add-links-to-slices-in-ad/ (If you don´t mind you can use Inkscape for that purpose) Cheers P.

Xtendo Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Bonjour à tous, Oui, vraiment, ce serait une super option que de pouvoir insérer directement un hyperlien dans un SVG à partir d'Affinity Designer ! Bien cordialement ! Hello everyone, Yes, really, it would be a great option to be able to directly insert a hyperlink into an SVG from Affinity Designer! Best regards !

toffy Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Hi Guys, I would love this feature too into AF. It's such a handy thing to have. Ok, for now, I've figured out a simple workaround, though this relies heavily on the user opening the PDF using MAC Preview or Adobe PDF. So this is more of a temporary solution. The solution: Both these tools can now read links if you have the entire extension in their full form so don't just write www.yoursite.com.au instead write https://www.yoursite.com.au. Now that might look messy including the "https://" in a display. So what I've also found that also works is overlaying a text bit with 0 opacity and that too seems to work well. Again both these rely on the PDF viewer/reader to make the linking work. I hope this helps someone. I do hope they implement a more robust linking system as soon as possible though. thanks.

Ghabby Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hey everyone, it would be a great thing to have de hyperlink tool in AD. Any news? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 17, 2021 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi @Ghabby, Welcome to Affinity Forums Currently this is only available in Affinity Publisher. I don't know if it will be available Affinity Designer. Feel free to create a new thread/feature request in the respective section of the forums (if there's isn't one already) and add your voice/comments there.
