Hyperlink in Floating Comments

[Rick_K]

Simply put, you should be able to put a URL hyperlink in a floating comment to link out to some site.

Imagine being able to add a hyperlink to the mathematical description of a VI that you used. Perhaps you have an internal server of IP Documentation. You could add a hyperlink to that in depth information directly in your VI. Perhaps you want to put your logo along with a link to your website at the top level of your source code. Whatever the reason, you need to be able to add a normal comment to the block diagram and populate that comment with text and hyperlinks.

As a extension, this new comment field could even take simple html tags for more formatting, embedding images, or maybe even an embedded video.

Some one who are still looking how to do this, check here https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvhowto/creating_free_labels/

It simply adds link based on the protocol://xxx definition.  I'm looking for more of an alias name like in HTML 

<a>ALIAS_STRING</a ref="https://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361R-01/lvhowto/creating_free_labels/">

that should show only ALIAS_STRING string with hyperlink but not the full URL.

You could post that as a new idea, if it's not there already. If you do, please post the link here.
