New feature of Storyline3 just added - Tables. When I tried to put a web link in a cell the insert link icon was grayed out - so it doesn't seem to support this.
I did a work around - created a text box with the link and then placed it over the table cell - not the best solution.
Agreed; this is disappointing. I love having tables instead of a bunch of rectangles loosely strung together but....just enabling hypertext links within cell text would go a long way. Hopefully this comes in the next Storyline 3.x update. [feature request already submitted]
Right now, there isn't a way to add hyperlinks directly to individual cells or selected text. We'll notify this discussion if we make any changes to that!
In the meantime, I've got a few suggestions:
Simulate hyperlinks for cells and text by adding hotspots where you need them and using the hotspots to trigger hyperlinks.
Create a text box with the hyperlink and then place it in the table cell.
Let me know if any of those ideas could work for you. I'm happy to help!
I'd just like to throw my name in on this one as someone who does not love that I have to go the hotspot route versus simply being able to highlight text and hyperlink within a table.
+1 can this feature be enabled in Storyline, as Hyperlinks inside table is a basic feature requirements to design any course and using hotspots is extra efforts just to design a table.
While this feature hasn't made it on our feature roadmap yet, this discussion is connected to the report, so we'll be sure to notify you when we have news to share.
Adding my request in here as well. Hover states on hyperlinks are pretty important to consistency and hotspots just display differently to the user. Seems a bit clunky to have to use work arounds still after all this time.
I'm so sad to see this was raised 5+ years ago and still in not implemented. I'm not sure if there might be some technical reason or if it really is just "too few folx have voted for it for us to worry about it" (which is how I read phrases like "it's not on our feature roadmap yet" and "you can vote for it").
I was impressed to see that I can use the method suggested and still have it be accessible -- since each table cell is listed in focus order... and since it does seem to place them automatically, I could use bottoms as well... however this still seems so tedious.
I'm aware these forums are not the technical groups, and the answer is often "you can file a ticket/request" but short of doing that, is there anything any of the forum admins can tell us about this and why it takes so long?
We're still working on this feature request, but I'll be glad to add your voice to the report. This article explains our process on handling features requests.
We'll be sure to leave a message here when we have any new updates to share!
I'd like to add my voice to the hyperlink feature request. I need to create 7 hyperlinks for my table, and, unfortunately, it's not an easy journey now :(

Hi Debra
unfortunately that functionality isn't available yet but I think it has been requested

Thank you!

Was this ever implemented? I am still unable to insert links into a table.

Another +1 for this function. Are there any updates on making this? It would be very helpful.
Hi, Beth.

Adding my request in here as well. Hover states on hyperlinks are pretty important to consistency and hotspots just display differently to the user. Seems a bit clunky to have to use work arounds still after all this time.
Also adding another voice to this request for hyperlinked text within tables.

I'm quite disappointed as well. I just redid a bunch of buttons in favor of using a table, and now I'm back to the drawing board.
+1 in asking to have this feature enabled/fixed.
Please add this feature!
Can we know if you guys are intend to add this feature?
