Hi Jose,

We are looking to customize Resource links to open to a smaller window size too (800x600) for the same reason. This would truly help having the ability to customize the window size of a Resource link.

    Hi AnthonyDeRose-9​ 

    As JoseTansengco​ already mentioned, this feature isn't currently available in Storyline. However, I happen to have a JavaScript solution that does exactly what you're looking for (see example below). Let me know if you'd like to explore this approach and whether you're interested in implementing it.

        Please find the attached .story file used in this example. The JavaScript trigger is placed on the Slide Master, so there's no need to modify it unless you'd like to change the window size (currently set to 800×600).

        The script dynamically targets the Resources panel and all nested <a> tags—specifically using their data-url attribute. You can continue adding as many links or files to the Resources tab as needed, and the code will handle them automatically.
