Hi,

Below is the snippet that will help you to tell whether hyperlink exists or not.

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var _hyperLink = doc.hyperlinks.itemByName('test');
if(_hyperLink.isValid)
    alert("Exists");
else
    alert("Not exists");

Assuming, hyperlink with name "test" exists in teh indesig document.

Can you be more specific? If you want to check if a block of Text has hyperlinks, you can use myText.findHyperlinks(), which will return an array of all hyperlinks in that text (array length can be 0)
