How Do We Add Title Text to Hyperlinks?

Question is in the title. I'm working on a client project and need to edit the title text on hyperlinks, but I can't seem to figure it out. Does anyone know how this is accomplished in Storyline? ...

Hi, Paul!

Good news! I know how to edit the text on hyperlinks! Here are the steps!

  1. Create a textbox
  2. Type what you'd like the text to say
  3. Select the text
  4. Click Hyperlink in the Insert tab
  5. When the Trigger Wizard opens, type the URL in the Action section.

Here is an image of what Trigger Wizard will look like!

Notice the URL you'll link to is in the Action section and the text you'll see on the screen is in the When section. I used ESPN as an example. I hope this helps you!

Thanks for reaching out!

Hi, John, thank you for your reply! Unfortunately, this doesn't answer my question. I'm trying to find out how to edit the title attribute for a link, not the text of the link itself. 

In HTML, one would write it like this:

<a href="https://www.google.com" title="This link will take you to the Google home page"> Google </a>

This functions similarly to alt text in images, in that when the user hovers over the link, the browser displays the text.

Any ideas? Thanks again for your reply.
