Hi I'm using Robohelp 2019 classic.
I've researched this and tried it o my own. Is it possible to add a hyperlink in the glossary? I want to link from the glossary to a topic.

I don't think it is possible but I am EAGER for someone to prove me wrong.

Also I can move to the new Robohelp 2019 if it will make a difference.

In the new UI you can have multiple paragraphs but cannot format any content.

I've always avoided the glossary because it can only be a single paragraph of plain text. As I frequently need two paragraphs I've always created a separate topic I call "glossary" which allows me to include links or graphics as needed. I can't use the glossary hotspot wizard, but I find that an acceptable tradeoff.

Doubtful - a glossary item is a one to many relationship; e.g. if "Dog" is my glossary entry, it could be found in 10 other topics, all talking about different breeds. Usually it's seen as the other way 'round (many to 1) - in each of the topics, whenever you see the term "dog", a link to the 1 glossary term is shown.
