URL--Text to Display Feature

[Samantha_Allema]

I think it would be nice to have the option to hyperlink with different text showing, like any basic HTML hyperlinking. Like I can even do in this forum if I needed to.

Visually, having the url just there isn’t appealing.

Just gonna throw my +1 on this feature request. Otherwise, loving the product so far!

+1 Any sign of this yet or on the horizon? very useful for the pop up window after web forms.

Adding my +1 to this request. We’re linking project folders by project number, which is much easier to read than a URL. Many thanks! Please hurry. We love AirTable at our company!

An update on this feature would be great Airtable - your community is asking for it repeatedly without reply
+1 from me!

+1, I ran into this again today while trying to format a contact info field that could contain either a mailto: or slack:// scheme (thus rendering the email field type kind of useless).

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give an update on this: formulas that begin with the following whitelisted schemes will be turned into clickable URLs:

• mailto:
• http://
• https://
• ftp://
• sftp://
• ssh://
• airtable://
• slack://
• quip://
• omnigraffle://
• omnioutliner://
• omnifocus://

Discovered this yesterday, thanks Kasra! We’re almost to the point where we can get rid of the email and URL field types :slightly_smiling_face:

Noticing that my links to Mixpanel will not function from an Airtable cell. Such links via https:// seem to mistakenly and automatically truncate after the “:” sign. e.g., the intended link https://mixpanel.com/report/99999/explore/#list/filter:(conjunction:and,filters:!((dropdown_tab_inde... becomes https://mixpanel.com/report/99999/explore/#list/filter

Does this mean you can create hyperlinked text with a formula? If so, could you provide a simple example? I didn’t find one anywhere.

[Christopher_Rex]

another +1 - we’ve been using formula hyperlinks in our tables to send webhooks, would really prefer cells show descriptive text rather than URL to inform the user what the link is for.
