Adding a URL link

Minder supports two methods for turning node title text into clickable URL links:

  1. Automatically detected embedded links
  2. Transform text into a clickable link

If a valid HTTP or mailto URL is entered into a node title, Minder will automatically parse the node text on exiting edit mode and highlight the URL text as a clickable link.

To turn any other text into a clickable link, simply highlight the text when in node title edit mode, right-click to display the contextual menu and select the Add link option. This will display a pop up window that will allow you to enter the URL to associated with the text. Click the Apply button to confirm the URL or click the Cancel button to exit the operation. Once the Apply button is clicked, the text will be displayed in the node title as a clickable URL.

Note that a valid URL in Minder must start with any of the following values:

  • http://
  • https://
  • mailto:

The characters following the prefix string must be valid for that URI type and must also not contain any white space characters.

To jump to a URL in edit mode, position the cursor anywhere within the linked text, right-click to display the contextual menu and select the Open Link menu item. This will automatically open the URL in the preferred application.

To jump to a URL when the node title is not being edited, simply hold the Control button while clicking anywhere in the link text. To view any link’s URL, hold down control while positioning the mouse over the link. This will display a tooltip showing the associated URL.
