Data field linking to an object hyperlink in Lucid

Question

I have a data source from an excel sheet, it includes a column for web address to the object that I'm tying this data to. In the shape, I can see the weblink in the data panel and its blue like a hyperlink. But, I am unable to click it. I'm using the data source as the ground truth table in case we need to replace an item and the address or data point changes like a serial number. so far I am still unable to assign the ‘web address’ field in my data source to the shapes link in any meaningful way outside of doing it manually using a url, page, or document. I've even looked into formulas in the text field below the shape, but cant find a way to make it clickable.

Any solution to this? feedback is welcome!

Thanks!

Hi ​@irqisequaltoIn data‑linking workflows, there isn’t a built-in, fully automatic way to map spreadsheet rows to existing shapes based solely on an ID or key field. Shapes generally need to be linked manually through Lucid’s data-linking tools or connected via custom integrations, rather than through universal key-based matching across diagrams.To learn more -Is there anyway to automate linking data to objects? | CommunityHope this helps - Happy to help further!!Thank you very much and have a great one!Warm regards
