Hyperlink in GH canvas

Grasshopper
1

Hello,

Is it possible to create a scribble text or an image with an hiperlink attached to it that so when you click it it opens the link? I heard that you could do that with Human but if possible I would like to avoid plugins

Thanks in advance!

It’s not exactly a hyperlink, but something like this maybe:

Cool @AndersDeleuran thank you for that, that could solve the issue.

Although what I was thinking of was to create a button in the GH canvas with a python component for example (a rectangle boundary with a text inside) so when clicking the button, it would open the link. The action of clicking the button would be detect with something like this:

    def RespondToMouseDown(self,sender,e):
        if e.Button == System.Windows.Forms.MouseButtons.Left:
            rec = self.ButtonBounds
            if rec.Contains(e.CanvasLocation):
                MessageBox.Show("The button was clicked", "Button", MessageBoxButtons.OK)
                return  Grasshopper.GUI.Canvas.GH_ObjectResponse.Handled
        
        return Grasshopper.Kernel.Attributes.GH_ComponentAttributes.RespondToMouseDown(self,sender, e)

I’m not sure how to do that on the canvas, but for a Rhino viewport you could do something like this:

Edit: Here’s a quick implementation, but you can draw text too and add a mouse over/click effect:

I’m using a script component without a button. By default, the component is disabled. To open the link, I need to select the component and enable it.

Woow, very interesting solution! Pretty sure I can implement that in some of the projects I am working on, thanks!
