Jonah,

If you look at the documentation you will find that there is a linkfield tag that you need to add.

Jonah,

The linkfield tag is expecting a field name that has a true URL in the attributes value. If your data does not contain this type of info I suggest using my eSearch widget which is much more robust when it come to links in the results and popups.

Robert,

Thats super helpful but I am a amateur and that looks daunting. Is there a simplified configuration code available all I really need is a hyperlink. It's just surprising that this functionality was overlooked with the out of the box widgets. Thanks for your help.

Jonah,

Like I said all you have to do is a field name to the linkfield tag.

The requirements are that the field name URL in the example above has an attribute value in the field like

http://www.google.com or http://gis.calhouncounty.org/newsite.jpg

Yah but unfortunately the field is not a direct hyperlink but a unique identifier

Jonah,

Then your only option is to use the eSearch.

Jonah,

the eSearch is configurable using a GUI in App Builder and you can choose mots of which features you want enabled. I would say try it out before you pass it up as daunting.
