Modify href attribute in RoboHelp 2017 without using javascript

Hi - I have what may appear to be an odd request.

 

I'm using RH2017 and I was wondering if there's a way to modify the href attribute in anchor tags without using javascript.

 

The reason I'm asking is that we're using the ZoomIn Product Documentation Center to host our documentation. I created a test project to see if I can dynamically build the href attribute with the associated product name and version number using javascript. I found out that when ZoomIn processes the uploaded bundle (zip) of the documentation project, it strips out any existing javascript for whatever reason.

 

I then tried to use a RH variable for the project name and version but that doesn't work either.

 

Does anyone know if there are any work-arounds in RH that I could try? We have both a development site and a Production site on the ZoomIn portal. A typical url for the Production site looks like this:

 

https://help.hexagonmi.com/bundle/pcdmis-2023.1-laser/page/PC_DMIS_Laser.htm

 

I've hard-coded the link's href attribute for now but that means all the links will need to be updated for each new version which we'd like to avoid.

 

Thanks!
