Adding URL Links

Adding a 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.

Jumping to a link

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

To click on a URL when the node title is not being edited, simply hold the Control button while clicking anywhere in the link text. This will display a popover displaying the URL that will be visited. To visit the URL, click on the popover URL. To remove the popover, click anywhere else on the canvas.
