Stamp with embedded hyperlink

Hello, first post for quite some time.

Wondering if it's possible to create a custom stamp (dynamic?) that consists of two element:

  • image
  • hyperlink.

I'd like to be able to create an object that I can insert into PDFs when marking them up that opens a weblink when clicked. I'm looking for the quickest way to do this as it is a regular part of my workflow. I have looked into dynamic links, and have created a text box when editing a custom stamp but can't get the link to work. I think it may have to do with the javascript being incorrect, or it may not be possible at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

No, it's not, since any interactive elements are flattened when the stamp is applied. And because a stamp is technically a comment (annotation) I don't think the option to convert plain-text URLs in it to clickable links will work, either.

What can be done, though, is to run a separate script after applying the stamp (by clicking a button in the application's UI) to add the link to a pre-defined area of it, after it was applied.

It's an extra step, but it should work. It can also be used to process multiple stamps in the same file in a single go.
