Wondering how to create a hyperlink that will show the blue underlined text value in a field and when you hover mouse over the text you will be able to click on a url. My Writer is to file geodatabase. I have a single url that I want to associate with the text values in a field. Attached is what I have done so far using the AttributeManager Conditional Parameters.

 

I do not want the actual URL to appear in the field.

 

URL with Text Link

You can create a <a> tag for a hyperlink like so:

<a href="your_url">Your link text</a>

However, that literal text will be written to your geodatabase, so whichever application you use to work with the data needs to be able to interpret that.
