Ribbon XML Supertip hyperlink

How do you render a click-able hyperlink into a supertip in Ribbon XML?

I've seen this done in various applications, but can't seem to find any guidance on how to do it (everything I find seems to instead be advising to add a ribbon button that is coded to follow a link).

MS Word supertip "tell me more" link example.

I don't need to retrieve or form a dynamic link in code, I just need to do this as a static string that won't change at run-time.

Thanks in advance for any help. :)

Solution

  • You can't. The API (this is for RibbonButton, but others are the same) doesn't say anything about it, and there is nothing in parent classes either.

    Also see this link about fixing the Tell Me More link. That area of the supertip is not intended to be modified by Add-Ins, despite how useless the links it provides are.

    Wherever you saw this done, it wasn't in VSTO.
