Using hyperlinks in a report

Two new properties - id and href - can be specified for text and images ( wordBox, wordWrapBox, decimalFormatBox, pageNoBox, referenceBox, imageBox, htmlBox). The runtime system can insert hyperlinks and ids in any output file that is in SVG, PDF, HTML or XLS format. The Report Viewer has been extended to support hyperlinks.

id - can be used to create an anchor in the document. Nodes can be identified with a unique id and then used as the target of a hyperlink.

href - can be used to define a hyperlink pointing to any resource on the Internet, local disk, or any anchor inside the document. The href should be defined using the URI syntax. For example:

http://www.google.com

mailto:santa.clauss@northpole.com

#ref

The runtime inserts hyperlinks and ids in the output file for SVG, PDF, HTML and XLS. The report viewer has been extended to support hyperlinks.

Note: XLSX format is not working for the moment. This should be fixed when the POI library version 3.8 is published and integrated in GRE.
