Inserting an external link in Xd

Hello,

I'm trying to insert an external link to a button in Xd (a web site URL or an e-mail adres) and can't find the function. Is there an option to do that in Xd?

Please help!!

    Hi All,

     

    Happy New Year!

     

    The wait is over, with today's latest XD update, you can now create hyperlinks in XD. Please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-hyperlinks.html for more info.

     

    Check out our What's new page for more feature updates.

     

    Please update XD to 47 version and share your experience with us by creating separate posts on the related topics.

     

    We will be happy to help. We appreciated your patience.

     

    Thanks,

    Harshika

    Hi Peran, if you give a look at the link that you posted you'll see more than 2100 votes for this feature! This feature has been asked for more than 3 years, why is this taking so long? You already have things like this in Adobe Acrobat, just put that lines of codes inside the XD with some adaptations. 

     

    My think is that you have lost track of that request.

      I've got a project in which I need to share multiple scenarios and features. I want to setup a menu system so that I can share one link with my client vs sharing multiple prototype links. I need Adobe XD to link to external URLs in order to do this. I'm surprised that this hasn't been implemented yet.

      The last response to this that I see is from 2016. Is there an update on this yet?

        There is a BIG issue with XD: we cannot import LINKED files.

        I need to import PS or IL artboards that updates automatically if i change the original.

        Or at least linked PNG/JPG files.

                Hi everyone,

                 

                Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We understand your eagerness for this feature. If you're visiting this thread for the first time, please submit your feedback here: Link to external URLs – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs and upvote the request.

                 

                As a workaround, you can check out the "Anima Plugin" in the XD plugin panel that can help you with linking to an external URL. Once you have the plugin installed, select the object in your design and click on the + icon in front of the link and to add the URL. 

                 

                 

                Let us know if that helps.

                 

                Thanks,

                Harshika

                  Hi Preran,
                  When are you going to create external link on XD so we can create a website URL link?
