Hi Madhuri,

what you see in the Hyperlinks panel is the name of the hyperlink.

 

What you need is in the source property of that hyperlink object.

Depending what kind of source it is, CrossReferenceSource or HyperlinkTextSource, you must go to property sourceText of that source property ( available for both flavors of source I mentioned ) and look for sourceText.contents.

 

In pseudo code:

document.hyperlink.source.sourceText.contents

 

All my descriptions are in ExtendScript terms.

Hope, you find you way analog to it in the SDK.
