[@anaziliodesign]

Yes, they changed for worse! Now I can't add a link to e-mail using the "mailto:" anymore. I'm looking for a good substitute, do u know any alternative?

[@GDHT]

@@anaziliodesign I just checked, and you're right! Ugh! I'll try to see what I can find.

[@GDHT]

I reached out to the company to see if they have a workaround. :)

[@anaziliodesign]

@@GDHT I did too! Hope they answer soon :)

[@anaziliodesign]

​@Dragon yes it works if when typing you allow the text to be a hyperlink. In my case is a bit more complex 'cause I'm trying to add link to images, on a digital business card.
