Jonah,

   If you look at the documentation you will find that there is a linkfield tag that you need to add.

I saw that but was unsucessful creating the hyperlink, do you know where any configurtaions are for the linkfield. Thanks

Jonah,

   The linkfield tag is expecting a field name that has a true URL in the attributes value. If your data does not contain this type of info I suggest using my eSearch widget which is much more robust when it come to links in the results and popups.

Robert,

Thats super helpful but I am a amateur and that looks daunting. Is there a simplified configuration code available all I really need is a hyperlink. It's just surprising that this functionality was overlooked with the out of the box widgets. Thanks for your help.

Jonah,

  Like I said all you have to do is a field name to the linkfield tag.

<linkfield>URL</linkfield>

The requirements are that the field name URL in the example above has an attribute value in the field like

http://www.google.com or http://gis.calhouncounty.org/newsite.jpg

Yah but unfortunately the field is not a direct hyperlink but a unique identifier

Jonah,

   Then your only option is to use the eSearch.

Jonah,

   the eSearch is configurable using a GUI in App Builder and you can choose mots of which features you want enabled. I would say try it out before you pass it up as daunting.
