Link Menu Item to Website

Question

Hey all,

I am working with the Map Tour template in App Studio. I have created a new item in the menu and am wanting to link that menu item to a website URL.

Is there documentation available that can walk me through this? Or does anyone have an example they can share?

Thanks!

Update:

I've created a menu item and separate page. Then copied some code from the About Page and footer to create a different version of what I was looking for. It'll work!

Thanks @DavidPuckett!

I would love to give this a go, but I think my biggest issue is figuring out how to correctly create the page/link and then how to link the menu item to the page/link. This may be more than can be described here as I am a newbie when it comes to programming.

Hey @TrevorFrame,

I appreciate the reply! I am using links in the StoryMaps, for sure.

What I am trying to do here is create a menu page similar to the "About the App" menu page. This new menu page would be a "News and Updates" page that links to a site that has all of our up to date information on it. I would like it to still open in the app and not a web browser.

I know I could just create a StoryMap and then put a link in a feature but thought it may be cleaner to put it in the menu since there would only be one feature.
