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.
I used the CONCATENTATE feature to build up the required Amazon search URL (and SUBSTITUTE to replace spaces in the title with plus signs).
If the title of the book is “The Art of Racing in the Rain” the formula will generate the following URL:
Which will do a keyword search with that title on Amazon.
The generated URL would be A LOT PRETTIER if Airtable would let us generate links appeared as underlined text… but you can’t have everything! :winking_face:
Once you master this technique you can build links that do all sorts of handy things:
Search for other books by an author
Search Amazon using a ISBN number (which you can read with the barcode scanner!)
