Can't create web link inside a table cell
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.
Am I doing something wrong?

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

Thank you!

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]

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

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

Hi, Beth.
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.

Also adding another voice to this request for hyperlinked text within tables.
