ESS service description on EP

Question

Hi,
We are implemeting Webdynpro ESS in ERP2004. We have a requirement where we have to provide a hyperlink in a service description. I am using relevant IMG of homepage framework to insert the description but it only uploads text files. Is there a way to insert a service description with hyperlink?
Thank you.

Ok....so just to follow you....
(1) Make a resource for the URL link (like for whatever URL the "Additional Info" is located...and you should already have one for your actual service (like Benefits Overview).
(2) Assign the resource to a service which should be the one to display the link ("Additional Info").
(3) Assign the service (and the service for Benefits Overview for example) to the <b>SAME</b> "subarea" with "Benefits Overview" given an order of say 10 and the "Additional Info" service given an order of 20...that makes them appear correctly (ie. stacked).
(4) Assign your subarea to an area (probably already done since it was there for the "Benefits Overview").
(5) Make sure your changes are moved to the right clients (since the config is client dependent) if in the same instance. For example, if you config in say client 030 but your data/unit test is from 035, log into client 035, run t-code SCC1 and pull over your transport from 030 (it's ok...you can do this as much as you want without releaseing the transport).
Now...you do NOT have to restart the portal. Your change will not show immediately, but that is ok. Have your portal admin go into "System Admin->Support->Portal Content Directory" and click the "administration" link towards the bottom...then click the "release cache" button. This will clear the cache and next time you access yourpages, they will reload with your new changes. Just that easy! =
Hope this helps.
