Can I create a link in a text cell that will open another file?

I am creating a template in Numbers that I can use to log meeting session data, such as length, date, notes of the meeting content, action items and then also have a field (cell) for links to outside documents relevant to the meeting or client.  I see how I can create a link to a webpage or an email, but not to another file on my hard drive, so that when I am in the file and reviewing notes, I can just click to open the items being referred to.
Does that make sense?
Thanks,
Cliff

Well, if you specifically know the name of the application in question and how it accepts parameters, you can try using Runtime.exec()
If you're willing to sacrifice platform independence (which it sounds like you are, since you specifically mentioned Explorer), you can try using the NTVDM "call" command, which taps into the file associations in the registry and launches the appropriate application.
I guess it would depend on the exact functionality you want. :)

  • Plain text editor that will open html correctly in browser

    TextEdit isn't the answer. If I save a plain text document full of html code as a "web page (html)" doc, it displays as plain text code in the browser rather than translating the code as a web page. I cannot save it as a .txt doc - the option is not available. If I save it as a .odt, I cannot then append .html to the file. So really, it ***** as a coding app. Isn't there a plain text option for Mac that works just like Notepad (or like SimpleText from years ago)?

    This is because what you're doing causes it to think that the code is the content of the page.
    You must work in Plain Text mode: when you have completed your code use Save As and save it as filename.html - you will get a dialog box offering to add .txt on the end, but you should decline the offer. This will work perfectly well.
    It's a very useful way of making simple alterations to code: if you want to go for something more advanced you might like to look at PageSpinner ($29.95, trial period available) which gives you colouring dependent on the type of code, pre-formed code to add it, and a live display of the result using Webkit (as in Safari).

  • Can I create a link for captions in Adobe Captivae

    can I create a link for captions in Adobe
    Captivae

    Hi HAMADART and welcome to our community
    I'm a bit fuzzy on what you are looking for.
    If you are asking if you can create a hyperlink from a text
    caption that will open a URL or something, the answer is that you
    can, but not like you think. You would insert a caption and place
    it, then insert a click box object and program it to point to the
    URL. Then place the click box object over where you want your user
    to click.
    If you are asking if you can create a link that forces the
    Closed Captioning to display, first off I'd wonder why a link when
    clicking the CC button is so easy. But if you are asking if there
    is a way to cause Closed Captioning to display without user
    intervention, you need to take a look at fellow Adobe Community
    Expert Paul Dewhurst's site and use one of his widgets.

  • How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?

    How can I create a link from a CHM file to a webhelp file?
    The CHM output (accreditation.chm) is stored in a parent directory, and the webhelp output (index.htm) is stored in a child directory.

    Open the usual Link dialog and enter the relative path from where the CHM will be installed to where the webhelp will be installed.

    I’m using version 11.0.10. So where the Menu resides in a folder ready to be burnt on to a CD, that same folder is where the links point to.

  • Help Please - having difficulties creating af link from the text to an attached file i acrobat

    I have been reading the help, but it just wonn't work when I try.
    I have tried as followed (I am working with a danish version, and hope to matched the same word as in the english version of Acrobat Xpro):
    1. From the toolbox i choose content and then 'hyperlink'
    2. I mark the text from which i wish to make a link
    3. Acrobat respond with an popup picture 'create a link'
    4. From the popup I mark 'Open a side' and push 'next'
    5. Acrobat respond with a new popup picture 'create / go to a side'
    6. I go to the navigator and open the list with attached file's that I have embedded in my acrobat file.
    7. I mark the to which i wish to make a link to
    8. In the popup 'create / go to a side' that stilll is open, i push 'Mark hyperlink'
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    How do i do it right?
    Please help.

    Hello Bernd
    Thanks for a quick respond.
    This corresponds to the text I have tried myself, but apparently I do something wrong
    1.      Open a PDF that contains a PDF file attachment – done
    2.      Go to where you want to create a link. If that location is in the file attachment, click the Attachments button in the navigation pane, select the file attachment, and click open.
    Here I go to side number 10 from which I wish to make a link from (I am not open the attachment file at this moment, as the location not is inside the file attachment).
    (I earlier also tried to  mark the attachment file and click open, and It result that the attached file just opened normally without creating a link to the file).
    3.      Choose Tools > Content > link, and select the area for the link
    Here  I mark the text on side 10 from which I wish to make a link to a attached file
    4.      In the Create Link dialog box, set the link appearance, select Go To A Page View, and then click Next
    Here I have selected ‘Go to a page view’ as told and I click Next
    5.      Set the page number and view magnification you want, either in the parent PDF document or in the file attachment, and then click set link.
    Here I go to the navigation pane and mark the attached file from the file list (the files in the list hasn’t any side number in the list) and then I click Set Link.
    Then I hoped that I have created a link from the acrobat text to the attached file. In stead Acrobat has made a link to the same sidenumber that respond to the text from which i wish to make a link . F.ex. the linktext is on side 10 - then the link goes to side 10.
    What do I do wrong.?

  • Is it possible to create a link from a picture's metadata to a test file?

    Hi everyone,
    I am looking for a way to get a direct link to the picture's deposited right of utilisation. I prefer a link in the picture's meta data to a text file - e.g. pdf or doc. Is that possible?
    PC with Lightroom5.
    Thanks a lot for help!

    To build on Ian's suggestion, you can include URLs to files on the computer, e.g.
    An easy way to construct such a URL is to go to your browser, give the Open File command (in Chrome, it's File > Open File), and then browse to the desired file.  The browser will open the file, and you can copy the URL from its address bar.
    If you don't like using the IPTC:Website field for this purpose, or if you want more than one field in which to store URLs, I think the Custom Metadata plugin would provide that capability. The author is very helpful and a frequent contributor here.
    Finally, you might consider my Any File plugin.  It lets you directly import files of any type into your catalog.  For example, you could import the release PDFs for an image and stack the release and the image together.

  • I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac.  I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC.  How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

    I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
    working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
    someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
    query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
    not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
    working:
    td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
    $row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
    $_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
    Customer</a></td>
