Multiple Hyperlink Styles?

I second this request for allowing multiple (at least two) hyperlink styles. There are many times this has been an issue and using workarounds often negates the accessibility requirements.

Hi Ray,

Thanks for reaching out about this! I have submitted a feature request on your behalf for allowing multiple hyperlink states. If it makes it onto our feature roadmap, we’ll make sure to update you via this conversation!

If there's anything else you need, don't hesitate to ask!

I'm having a somewhat related issue - Is it possible that the hyperlink "visited" state is defined per slide and not per project (or as a consistent style).

Context: I have made myself an own template file with our own branding - I've mixed and matched several previously used slide layouts - adapted everything, all fonts / colors look perfect. The hyperlink Normal state also works well based on the Style. However the hyperlink visited state needed to be changed on each slide individually. (I didn't check for the other hyperlink states).

From my point of view this is a strange behavior - I would expect all hyperlink states in a style to cover all slides in a project.

Thanks 

I'm having the same issue as Jeff - I have callouts on some of my slides that require the link text (all four states) to be white, and other links throughout the project that are to be blue.  I'm a little taken aback that this isn't an option for a top-of-the-heap design and authoring app.  Using invisible hot spots isn't an option due to accessibility requirements, and it still wouldn't address the style of the link states...  call me high-maintenance, but it seems this should a lot easier than it presently is.  

Unless anyone can suggest a viable workaround, my next step is to re-address the approved visual design with the client, to accommodate an unfortunate limitation of the software. 

I really hope this makes it into a future update soon! 

If anyone is still struggling with this, a colleague at work offered a pretty decent workaround. 

1. Select the body of text where you would like the hyperlink to be placed. Format the text to show the link, e.g. underline, change of colour etc.
2. Create a custom hover state (It cannot be a built in trigger from Storyline, you could call it _hover)
3. Change the hyperlink text to the colour, style you want.
4. Then create a hotspot and place it over the hyperlink text.
5. Create two triggers:
   1. Jump to url when user clicks hotspot
   2. Change state of "body text name" when user hover overs "body text name", tick the box that says "Restore previous state when the user hovers out" 

This should produce the desired results as a fairly quick workaround. 

Hope this helps!

this should be fixed - it is not a feature, it is a bug - or bunch of bugs.
