Multiple hyperlinks within one table on dedicated text entries

Especially when creating glossaries or key take-away slides, I would be happy if it were possible to insert a table into my storyline slide and provide various text elements in it with different hyperlinks.

Seams to be impossible today as tables, from my point of view, can only have one hyperlink on the complete table :-( 

Very limiting

    I have a client request to add hyperlinks in a table of contacts. I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working so researched why and found this (and a request from 2017) to be able to do this. While I can do a work-around, it will be challenging to keep it accessible for keyboard and screen readers. 

    Please add my request to get this on the product roadmap.

      Hi PeteRix1​,

      Thanks for sharing your experience and for calling out the accessibility challenge with workarounds!

      You’re right, Storyline tables currently support one hyperlink for the entire table, not for individual cells or text entries. Adding cell-level hyperlinks would give authors more flexibility and help keep projects accessible for all learners.

      I’ve added your request to our feature tracker so the team can review it alongside similar feedback from Andreas and others. We’ll share any updates if this feature is added to the roadmap.

    Any update on this feature update? I too would like to be able to treat each cell as a unique link. I know I can work around by overlaying a shape and using that but it seems like I should be able to just use each cell separately.

      Hi GuyBosworth!

      Thanks for checking in on this!

      I don't have any updates to share at this time, but I've included your voice in the request. We'll be sure to notify you if this enhancement makes it to our product roadmap.

  • Hello Andreas!

    Currently, the only option is to hyperlink an entire table rather than individual cells, which I agree, is limiting. We have this logged as a feature request so I've added your comments so that our team is aware of the impact. I'll also make sure to report back to this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
