Hyperlinks do not show in panel if source inside text frame from master page

Windows 10, Affinity Publisher 1.7.2.471

I'm trying out the Publisher trial to figure out if I can use it instead of LibreOffice for a roleplaying game book layout. Links (both in TOCs and indexes and in main text) are important for this. Unfortunately, I'm having issues where links I create inside of my text frames (which are inherited from a master page spread) do not show in the Hyperlinks panel/studio. This makes it impossible to delete or follow them.

I figured out it was a master page issue when I found this thread, where this issue came up and was solved back in February. I have confirmed I have the same issue now. If I create a link from within a text frame inherited by a master page, it doesn't show and can't be tested without exporting the PDF. If I create a link from a page with no master, it shows and can be tested or jumped to. It does not matter whether the link target anchor is in an master-inherited text frame or not; only whether the hyperlink itself is.

Hi @Tegwyn,

I've reproduced this, the hyperlinks still function but you are correct, they don't appear in the Studio and the only way to delete them is to delete the hyperlink within the frame itself.

I've logged this, thanks for reporting it

Came here to report just this. I'm having this issue as well.

Fortunately, on this particular document I only have 1 link in this situation, but it would be quite a hassle if I had many more.

Thanks!
