Hyperlink Styles - More than one?
Other than JavaScript, is there a way in Storyline 360 to create multiple HYPERLINK styles using the Design Color or Text Style guides?
We often run into issues of color contrasts from light to dark backgrounds.
Thank you!

Hi BarbaraJacobs-1!
Happy to help!
Currently, Storyline 360 only supports one hyperlink style per course. However, we are tracking a feature request to enhance that functionality, and allow for multiple hyperlink styles in a single course. I've included your voice in the request!
We'll be sure to notify you if this feature makes it to our product roadmap.
I hope this feature is available soon (for more than one hyperlink style) as well as having more text decorations than a full underline, ie, dashed, dotted lines etc.
Hello NikkiKrause,
Thanks for sharing your input! I can see how having more than one hyperlink style and additional text decoration options like dashed or dotted underlines would make it easier to design accessible and visually consistent courses.
We have added your note to the existing feature request our team is tracking for multiple hyperlink styles in Storyline 360. I appreciate you taking the time to share what would help improve your workflow.
Hi Eric, just checking in to see if there are any updates on this.
We’re currently encountering an issue with the default hyperlink styling in Storyline. When links appear on a dark background, the default style does not meet WCAG 2.1 accessibility contrast requirements. While hotspots can be used as a workaround, they aren’t always ideal from an accessibility, usability, or maintenance perspective—especially when maintaining consistent link behavior.
It would be great to see an enhancement in a future Storyline release that allows for:- Improved default accessible link styles, or
- Greater control over hyperlink contrast and styling to meet WCAG 2.1 requirements out of the box
This would significantly reduce the need for workarounds and help teams build accessible content more efficiently. Thanks for considering this request.
Requesting this feature to be added!
Having multiple hyperlink styles per course would aid in accessibility.
