Capturing hyperlink press on pdf viewer

Hi,

Great platform, much info sourced so far! However this time round I could not find a solution to my challenge...

I have application that is connected to SharePoint document library. I list my documents in a gallery and on selection I trigger window where I display document content.

I am using Substitute() function to convert word/excel documents into pdf and then display it in app using PdfViewer. This part works great!

If I have a link in the newly made pdf to, let's say different excel file from same SharePoint library, I am able to press on it and it launches office application on the device.

My challenge is to capture this link press and instead of launching office application (default behaviour) I'd like to create an new Pdf and display it on 2nd PdfViewer.

???

Unfortunately, the PDF Viewer does not support this action.

If you happen to know the link (assuming it is only one) from the document, you could simulate this in some hacked way to open that link. But, I don't believe that is what you want.

Doesn't give you an answer but I hope it helps understand the limit.

Thanks for your replay @RandyHayes

This still bugs me tho...

If on hover over the link we see standard behaviour, where mouse icon gets changed to the hand, and hyperlink view window appears. This must be programmed somewhere, same as standard powerapps icons have focus mode on hover over, etc.
Why can't we capture press incident on the link and override this behaviour with whatever comes to our mind..?

I'll keep trying

Yeah, it's just something that is not currently available in PowerApps for that control.

You're certainly welcome to post an Idea in the Idea forum on this though.
