Hello,I have a custom shape made up of three Lucid table shapes I grouped together. I want to embed a hyperlink in the custom shape. When I select the custom shape, the “Link” option is not activated. How do I embed a link into my custom table/shape?Thanks!K

Hello @Eric Padron,Thanks for your reply. I’m afraid I don’t know what a hotspot is. I’ve worked around the issue using a standard shape…Add a standard shape to the diagram.Add a hyperlink to the standard shape.Size the hyperlinked shape identically to the custom shape.Make the hyperlinked shape transparent.Position the hyperlinked, transparent shape over the custom shape.Group the custom and standard shapes.EndThanks again!K

Hello @Eric Padron,

Thanks for your reply. I’m afraid I don’t know what a hotspot is. I’ve worked around the issue using a standard shape…

Add a standard shape to the diagram.
Add a hyperlink to the standard shape.
Size the hyperlinked shape identically to the custom shape.
Make the hyperlinked shape transparent.
Position the hyperlinked, transparent shape over the custom shape.
Group the custom and standard shapes.
End

Thanks again!

Hey @kcrossley, two ideas for you. Would adding a hotspot to your group with an action meet the requirement? Alternatively, you should still be able to add a link to the individual shape(s). Let me know.
