Extract hyperlink in Gh - how to?

[Piotr]

Question to Magic Man.

Is there a way to extract the hyperlink from Rhino block and read it in Grasshopper 1 (to pass it to another object)?

Test file attached.

Did you manually put the link there or were you able to download the file with a link already there?

I was recently wondering about this Hyperlink attribute and why it isn’t saved as attribute user text.

It came with the model. I have no idea how the file was created and in what software. AutoCAD presumably.

There is something strange going on. At first the url wasn’t populated, i clicked and it populated and showed up as expected. Now opening the file its populated but not showing up in gh.

@AndyPayne is looking into it.

The URL that you’re looking for was saved on the block definition. So, you just have to deconstruct it like this.

BlockURL.gh (13.5 KB)

Thanks

It works this way too:

I have another question:

Out of three text entries, only one is exposed in Rhino

What other two are for? Is it for passing/storing information inside Gh only? Can you provide an example, please?

Is there some magic trick to save information to the Notes panel?
