Hyperlink in Attribute Table/Hyperlink in Popup

WilliamCole — Sun, 16 Nov 2025 17:57:40 GMT

I run Pro 3.6.0.

I have a large number of documents that are stored on a local NAS. In ArcGIS I had created a field in the Attribute Table to store URLs for these documents and had included those in an attribute table for the specific feature class . I had formatted a pop-up to display this field. In ArcGIS Pro the value of the field displays but not as a link.

Using this YouTube video I entered an HTML formatted entry for one of my old URLs. That entry sort of works in that it displays the link's title in the popup but still does not treat the URL embedded in the HTML code as a link. Here's what the popup displays for the URL field for line 1 on the attribute table shown in the 2nd figure in this post:

Popup for Dismal Plantation

A copy of the attribute table [with the machine name blanked] shows this:Attribute Table Example

Line 1 is the HTML modified entry for the URL field.

Line 2 in the value in the URL field as entered for ArcGIS.

Advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

Thanks for the reference. Haven't looked at this, but it looks like what will solve my problem. Out of pocket today for medical stuff, will tackle tomorrow.

I found that the file extension that I wanted to use [.odt] was not listed in the Supported file extensions list. Once it was added, all was well. Thank you so much for that pointer.
