How to recreate / modify Hyperlinks on TextFrame / Rectangle etc using JS?

i faced "the object you have chosen is already in use by another hyperlink" when doing so.

Searched through the forum, seems there's no way.

Is this an Adobe's bug ?

Thank you.

You'll have to delete the hyperlink source, or rename it. To recreate the link you could

1. store the hyperlink's destination

2. delete the hyperlink

3. create a new hyperlink from the frame to the stored destination.

Hi Peter,

I never tried renaming the hyperlink source.

Is that really sufficient?

If that would not work, I'd duplicate the source and remove the original source.
Maybe that would not work as well. I will try if I have some minutes of spare time.

Just a thought…

Uwe

No, probably not. Certainly not, come to think of it. Why duplicate the source? maybe there are other connections. I'd re-do the link (store destination and other properties of the link, remove the link, recreate the link).
