Hi All,

 

Happy New Year!

 

The wait is over, with today's latest XD update, you can now create hyperlinks in XD. Please see this article: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/help/create-hyperlinks.html for more info.

 

Check out our What's new page for more feature updates.

 

Please update XD to 47 version and share your experience with us by creating separate posts on the related topics.

 

We will be happy to help. We appreciated your patience.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hi everyone,

 

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback. We understand your eagerness for this feature. If you're visiting this thread for the first time, please submit your feedback here: Link to external URLs – Adobe XD Feedback : Feature Requests & Bugs and upvote the request.

 

As a workaround, you can check out the "Anima Plugin" in the XD plugin panel that can help you with linking to an external URL. Once you have the plugin installed, select the object in your design and click on the + icon in front of the link and to add the URL.

Let us know if that helps.

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Adobe XD has been a big disappointment lately. I have moved all my accounts and projects to Figma and I am about to abbandon Adobe CC entirely. The reason are simple things like this one. Why are you being so difficult about this? People are asking for some simple feature that they need for their professional work, delivery to stakeholders and saving time overall. Three years ago you said "We understand your eagerness for this feature.", and now, we think you don't. So farewell XD.

Just passing to say that I leave XD as my UX and UI Tool, I've been testing many different tools, anda Figma and UX Pin were the best of the simple ones, and for those who have and IOS Sketch is the best. 

I'm fine with Figma, and my big prototypes and design system is working fast in my mid config PC. Well, I hope you guys that are unhappy here do the same and stop hoping for some solution of a company who leave you behind for almost 5 years ... with a simple issue. Shame on Adobe XD.

… there was a time when I thought: "hey cool, Adobe is back in user oriented business" – but that was just a missunderstanding. Nothing behind that thought is true. Adobe is still the same arrogant company than before. But in this case you have missed the chance to get industrys leadership. Meanwhile all our clients force us to use Sketch for design and prototyping.

 

You should listen more and be more loyal to your customers.

It does not help. It makes things more difficult to work on and it is not an elegant solution for external links.
What are you waiting for? For all of us to move to FIGMA?
WAKE UP ADOBE!!!!

Hi Peran, if you give a look at the link that you posted you'll see more than 2100 votes for this feature! This feature has been asked for more than 3 years, why is this taking so long? You already have things like this in Adobe Acrobat, just put that lines of codes inside the XD with some adaptations. 

 

My think is that you have lost track of that request.

I wonder if this has (and should have) any priority...

The goal of XD is to let designers create a mockup, a prototype at best. So if you want to show how a button or anything serves as a link to a website or an email, add an artboard with a screenshot to mimic this behavior, and hook it up with that button. It's all a matter of make-believe, not to make it work for real...

@Peter Maybe it's not what you (or Adobe) intends to do with XD but about the way your users are using it! Your're right: usually we just design Websites or Apps with Tool like Sketch and XD. But yesterday I rapidly built up a onepage website as a menu for a restaurant … And I was thinking by mayself „why don't they combine their tools to one ecosystem? Why don't they have the posibility to hand over XD-Designed Sites to Dreamweaver or things like that … ?“ It feels a bit arrogant when you try to tell your users in which way they have to use your tool … I think you should have a look at the bigger picture and should work much harder on XD … just to get closer to Sketch … or to create a new type of standard!

My perceived "arrogance" might be rooted in 34 years of using a mixed bag of tools of Adobe (and a few other brands) for various kinds of print and interactive media, and 28 years of experience with designing for the web (and about a decade for apps). I also once wished and expected tools to converge into one. I also thought having one tool or method to professionally design, create, produce, and publish print media, videos, websites, or apps would be fine. I've seen the many "Bigger Pictures" of various digital media ecosystems by now, but it didn't turn out that way. It never will...

 

For your onepager you could be happy with WixSquarespace or one of the zillion WordPress templates. But beware, client always want more...
