If the Hyperlink property is specified for a frame, the property will be transferred to all the child (interior) objects that do not have a Hyperlink property specified. If the property cannot be transferred to the child objects, the frame's Hyperlink propertyvalue is lost.
A report output in PDF format can include both hyperlinks and application command line links. If the Application Command Line property is set for an object, it will be applied to the object. Otherwise, the Hyperlink property is applied.
If a Hyperlink property is specified for an object in a frame, clicking the object will by default replace the frame with an entire window displaying the destination of the hyperlink. To replace only the frame, include the following HTML in the Additional Hyperlink Attributes property setting: target=filename, where filename is the name of frame to replace.
The following example shows a value for the Hyperlink property that specifies a link to a destination identified dynamically:
'DEPT_DETAILS_' || LTRIM(TO_CHAR(:DEPTNO))
where :DEPTNO
is a column value retrieved from the database at
runtime.
