I have a flow that I use to populate a MS Word Template. I have no issues with that except with two of the Content Controls. One of them is an email address, the other is an URL (hyperlink). The email address I think I can just style it as an hyperlink and it should work, but the URL is the big issue here. The URL I'm inserting from the Flow is pretty long, so I would like to to change it to something like a Click Here. First I thought of adding a Rich Text Content Control, but I don't think those are supported by Power Automate, so these fields are just Plain Text Content Controls. Any suggestions would be appreciate it
My brethren, rejoice! Our comrade ashwanidv100 (https://community.powerplatform.com/profile/?userid=4A0943F0-53F5-4550-ADD1-8F2415CB3A21) has found a way to make this happen using HTML instead of a word template in the following post:

Here is a high-level of what they did to make this work:
Definitely isn't as easy as it would be if the word connector allowed us to use Rich Text, but it's even more flexible than the word connector as it will allow you to do repeating sections within repeating sections. Repeating section inception babyy.
Thank you. I tried the Quick Parts, but it just displays the URL. I'm not sure how to add a custom name that will function as a hyperlink.
@mrmpanah the only way I've figured out how to fill out a word document is by using Quick Parts and a Sharepoint document library to store the file - then send it via mail (all done through Power Automate, but the setup has to be done manually).

Hi, any chance you resolved this issue? I am really stuck on this, thanks.
Unfortunately, no. I was unable to achieve this. Sorry @lr5 . I I come up with something, I'll post it. Good luck.
Hi @emfuentes27
Is there any chance that you successfully made it happen? I'm trying something very similar, and no luck unfortunately.
