Link to External URL in Ontology Property

I have an object property that is an external URL that I want to display in Workshop (on the object view) as a clickable URL. AIP assist suggested that I can use value formatting to mark my property as a URL but that doesn’t seem to be a value formatting option for a string:

Is this possible another way? Maybe using type classes?

You can Display URLs properties in various widgets in Workshop.

For example, using property list (can be used in object tables, etc), when mapping properties look for URL under LINKED OBJECTS:

Once added, customize like this:

When expanded use the name of the property to change the column name/property name.

Click on the little chain icon:


You can get the property ID from the ontology manager, by configuring the object type to which the property belongs, and getting it’s ID.

It will look like this:

You can make it look like a button too.

There are many widgets that support URL properties.

Hope this helps.
