Thank you so much!!! Just what I needed to learn! Very helpful video.
My pleasure thanks for leaving a comment!
lol never mind. You're in Affinity PUBLISHER! ...I'm OK.
No problem. Yeah this is a publisher function. Get yourself all three apps and open via Publisher. Then you can swap between the three. It's awesome.
I don't have that interact option when I right click! I have the latest version, but my Affinity photo looks different than yours
I'm having the same issue.
Sorry for the super late response. This comment didn't come up in my notifications. I am using Affinity Publisher here, which is (I believe) required for adding hyperlinks to documents. Hope this helps!

is there a way to hyperlink a phone number in the PDF we're making in Affinity Publisher? (So that the phone number's hyperlink will maybe open up a FaceTime app or something on your Mac or PC (or just the phone app to make a regular call if you click on the link from a phone)? Obviously this hyperlink CANNOT be an https link...
Hmm that's an interesting one. I have never tried that, but would imagine there is possibly an anchor of some type like this one that might be worth looking into blog.hubspot.com/website/html-telephone-link
How do you set a hyperlink on the selected text on a page that will take you back to one of the MASTER pages?? I can't see an option for this (only to a specific page that is NOT a master page!)...
Interesting question. Master pages are not technically part of the document once it's exported into PDF. Sorry I can't be of more help.
Hi again.. :P Thank you so much for your previous reply!! :) :)
Maybe you can help/advise on this?... 🙏🙏: I'm having REAL trouble with some hyperlinks that just won't work the way I need them to... Maybe you can help 'cause I must be doing something wrong and I am wasting SOO much time trying to figure out what's going on that I've nearly given up.... Your answer may be really brief (but my question is quite long :( :( as I need to explain what's going on...).
I have a 64-page document. Pages 1 and 2 are just the cover page, and the TOC page. Then pages 3 to 38 are "Section 1", pages 39 to 57 "Section 2" and pages 58 to 64 are "Section 3".
What I need is to have:
a) A hyperlink "button" on ALL pages (3 to 64) that says "Jump back to TOC" and when clicked on you are taken back to the TOC (page 2), This is done! :)
b) A hyperlink button on all pages of "Section 1", apart from its first page (so on pages 4 to 38), that says "Jump back to Section start", and when click on will take you to the start of “Section 1” (page 3). This is also done! :)
c) A hyperlink button on all pages of "Section 2", apart from its first page (so on pages 40 to 57), that says "Jump back to Section start", and when click on will take you to “Section 2” (page 39). This has failed.
d) A hyperlink button on all pages of "Section 3", apart from its first page (so on pages 4 to 38), that says "Jump back to Section start", and when click on will take you to “Section 3” (page 58). This will also fail since "c" doesn't work...
To do this I have made a total of 4 master pages to apply throughout the document. One hyperlink "button" on the first master page to take you back to the TOC page, on all pages, And 3 hyperlink buttons, each on the next 3 master pages, each taking you back to the starting page of the corresponding Section, of the 3 in total in the document.
So,
1) The first master page has the text "Jump back to TOC" that I've hyperlinked to the TOC page (page 2 ). I then have applied this master page to all the following pages of the document (pages 3 to 64) so that all these pages have this "button".
This works! All the buttons take you back to the TOC page (page 2)! :)
2) The next master page has the text "Jump back to start of section" that I've hyperlinked to the first page of "Section 1" (page 3). I then applied this master page to all the following pages of the document (pages 4 to 38).
This also works! All the buttons on pages 4 to 38 take you back to the start of this Section (page 3)! :
**From here on, start the problems... :( :( :(
I don’t seem to be able to create the same "Jump back to start of section" hyperlinks for “Section 2” and for “Section 3”, on the next 2 master pages... :(
What I did was:
1) Create a new master page (the 3rd master page)
2) From the previous master page (the 2nd), I copied the (already) hyperlinked text "Jump back to start of section" (which included the hyperlink to page 3).
3) Pasted this text group to the new (3rd) master page - so that it's positioned at the same exact location on this master page, with same font and size, as it was on the previous master page.
4) Right-clicked on this pasted, hyperlinked with the previous target page (3), text and EDITED the existing hyperlink (to go to new target page (page 39, this time)).
5) It failed. The newly edited hyperlink text, on the new master page, does NOT take you to page 39 as I have edited it to, but instead takes you AGAIN to page 3!… So I obv can’t apply this new hyperlinked text (to go to page 39) from the new master page, onto pages 40 to 57, since AP just doesn’t “want” to change the hyperlink page target! It’s like the original hyperlink (to page 3) just can’t be edited to point to a different page than it was originally made to take you to… :( :(
What do I have to do to make it work??
Never mind my question! ;) I found the solution!! How %$#% stupid of Affinity to make this so unnecessarily complicated and hidden....
What I was doing "wrong" (it should have worked this way too, though...) is that I was right-clicking on the text FIELD that had the "Jump back to start of section" text (that was already hyperlinked from the previous master page). Nothing would, then, happen when I would select either Delete or Edit Hyperlink command.
What I "had" to, instead, do is to double-click on the text field to "enter" it, then CMD+A to select/highlight all the TEXT, and THEN right-click and either Edit or Delete Hyperlink! Now the new hyperlink that takes you to the new page works!! :) :)
HOW ANNOYING to have wasted SO much time to figure this out, when all Affinity had to do was to simply allow the hyperlink's editing, or its deletion, when the text field was simply selected... I mean it makes no sense for this not to be happening when the Delete (or Edit) Hyperlink option IS available in the drop-down menu I when the text field is selected... If it does nothing then what's it there for??? Anyway, I got it to FINALLY work ;)
Hey so sorry I had missed this question but glad you figured out the issue! Yes the link functionality could definitely use some work! All the best with your book project.

This would be a great feature, but I don't think it is currently possible.
