Javascript: get hyperlink text source(s) from text

[Jeremy bowmangraphics]

If the cursor happens to be located inside a hyperlink text source, the hyperlinks panel reveals which hyperlink is involved. If a run of text is selected, the hyperlinks panel reveals which hyperlink text sources the selected text overlaps (none, one, or many).

I can't figure out how to do this with JavaScript. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Jeremy bowmangraphics, I believe you can use the findHyperlinks method of the text. For example:

var myHyperlinks = app.activeDocument.selection[0].findHyperlinks();
alert(myHyperlinks.length);

That's exactly what I was looking for, and now my script is working perfectly, thanks very much!
