Hyperlinks grouping in Hyperlinks Panel

[FRIdNGE]

Hi All,

I have 2 documents called "A" and "G" and 4 hyperlinks in "A".

The 2 first hyperlinks named "_A 2 [1]" and "_A 2 [2]" are internal hyperlinks (their destination are in "A").

The 2 other hyperlinks namd "_G 2 (1)" and  "_G 2 (2)" are external hyperlinks (their destination are in "G").

Can someone explain me why we have a "grouping" for the 2 first (based on the "_A 2" Destination-Anchor name and not the 2 others?

Could it be fixed to have these last hyperlinks visualized inside a "_G 2" grouping?

Best,

The grouped ones are using "shared hyperlink destination". They're pointing to the same think and are being treated as the same link. If you change one, you change both (which may or may not want). Doubleclick on the hyperlink to edit it and you'll see the option right in the center of the popup window.

Hi Luis,

Not truly sure it's something to see with the "shared hyperlink destination". No relevant effect for me.

@FRIdNGE

Can you share your document? 

[luis_guimaraes]

Are you positive that you change it and the group remains?

I don't play with an "URL" but an "Anchor Text".

See this old thread [june 2017]:

… and what Peter Kahrel answered:

"Hyperlinks don't have groups. What looks like a group is simply two or more text sources pointing to the same destination. It's vaguely comparable with what you see in the Links panel when you place two or more pages from the same PDF."

In other terms, would it be another "bug" of InDesign that only recognizes text anchors grouping only in a current document?  😉
