Hypertext link as a format field

Post by AsafKeller »

It would be most useful if the hypertext link

Code: Select all

(bookends://sonnysoftware.com/xxxxx)
could be specified as one of the format fields in the Format Manager. This would allow us to export data from Bookends to other applications, while retaining the link to the original Bookends entry. Thanks.

HI,

If I'm not missing something, that's easy:

`bookends://sonnysoftware.com/`@

where @ will be replaced with the reference unique id.

I linked to Scriviner and did a Copy Formatted with this format

a. t. j. `bookends://sonnysoftware.com/`@

When the text was inserted into Scriviner I selected the link, right-clicked, and chose Make Link.

That's it.
