How to create a hyperlink with a Label in Tkinter?

Question

How do you create a hyperlink using a Label in Tkinter?

A quick search did not reveal how to do this. Instead there were only solutions to create a hyperlink in a Text widget.

Answer 1

Bind the label to "<Button-1>" event. When it is raised the callback is executed resulting in a new page opening in your default browser.

from tkinter import *
import webbrowser

def callback(url):
    webbrowser.open_new(url)

root = Tk()
link1 = Label(root, text="Hyperlink", fg="blue", cursor="hand2")
link1.pack()
link1.bind("<Button-1>", lambda e: callback("http://www.example.com"))

link2 = Label(root, text="Hyperlink", fg="blue", cursor="hand2")
link2.pack()
link2.bind("<Button-1>", lambda e: callback("http://www.example.org"))

root.mainloop()

You can also open files by changing the callback to:

webbrowser.open_new(r"file://c:\test\test.csv")
