Open Word document immediately when clicking a point (skip pop-up) — ArcGIS Pro 3.5.3

Hi everyone,

I’m using ArcGIS Pro 3.5.3 and have created a point layer by geocoding a CSV file containing addresses and a field with full file paths to local Word documents.

The pop-up is working correctly — when I click a point, the pop-up opens and the hyperlink inside successfully opens the correct Word document.

What I want to do is bypass the pop-up entirely.
My goal is:

Click a point → the Word document opens immediately, without needing to click the hyperlink inside the pop-up.

Additional details that may be relevant:

  • The documents are local files (e.g., C:\Folder\Subfolder\...).

  • The Hyperlink tool is grayed out, so I cannot enable standard hyperlink behavior on the layer.

  • Because the layer was originally created from a CSV and then exported/geocoded, I’m not sure whether this affects ArcGIS Pro’s hyperlink capabilities.

  • The pop-up and hyperlinks work correctly, but only when manually clicked inside the pop-up.

If anyone knows whether ArcGIS Pro supports automatically opening local documents when clicking a point, or if there is a different workflow or setting required, I would appreciate any guidance.

Thank you.

Comment deleted - I missed the part saying links work when clicked.
