Hyperlink in footnote

Hello,

I need to add hyperlinks to the description of my objects(charts, tables, graphs). 

I'm open to different options and suggestions. My original idea was to add hyperlink to the footnote (what syntax should I use? ) or maybe there is a way to add button on the chart/table(overlap it with chart).If I can load hyperlink somehow, it will also work.

I'd really appreciate all ideas.

Thank you very much in advance!

This is currently not possible.

however, you can do this with a button and some input-variable buttons.

what you can do is create a variable for example vLink (you can leave this empty in the load script it is let vLink ='';

in the frontend you can just create it.

 

after that in the front end you can drag the variable input object into the sheet and set this to button. then go to appearance and set the   value to dynamic and past in the following. 

www.google.com~Barchart|link-2~Piechart

after that this is set up and you can add a lot of buttons (with links here) then you can add the blue button that will let you go to the link you selected.

at the website URL you can paste in the following:

='$(vLink)'

all in all it should look something like this

Thank you so much. It's really cool. But the idea that I was trying to implement is to make a drill down from one bar chart to another report(app) where end users can see detailed information. If they click on pie chart, they drill down to a different report(another app) etc.

this is also possible in Qlik but with an other option. it is called chaining (i believe) there you can chain apps and with for example an kpi object go to the app you want more detailed information of. (i don't think this option is available within charts objects like a bar or pie chart
