The technical training I'm developing has a large glossary. Is there a way to automatically link the words in the training to the glossary. For example, any time a word that's in the glossary appears in the body of the training, there's a hyperlink to the glossary. Because of the number of words involved, I don't want to do each one individually so it needs to be something that's set up automatically.
This is a popular feature request recently, and what I have seen other community members do in the interim is create their glossary within a lightbox so that you can click on a word in a slide which has a trigger to open a lightbox slide, but as you mentioned you have a large glossary and this may be a lot of recreating for you.
Thanks Ashley for the idea. I've not used a light box before so I didn't even think of that. I'll give it a try. Is there a tutorial on how to set up a light box? Lynn

Hi Lynn,
This tutorial deals with creating a menu in the lightbox slide, but the set up would be similar.
this subject is about 3 years old !!
Any progress been made ? Still can't find the feature, so didn't this request made it through development ?

Hi there, has there been any progress in this - would be great if we could link to open the glossary from a trigger! :-)
Hi Mhairi,
There isn't a change to this set up within Storyline. It's something that we've still had folks submit feature requests in regards too.
Hi, has there been any update on the availability of this feature? I'd be very keen to use it!
Hello, J T!
Thanks for checking in! There isn't a way to link to the glossary in Storyline at this time.
I'll document your thought and let you know if we add this feature in the future. Here's a peek into our process:
