 I am trying to find a way where I can add a hyperlink calling an external URL using the XML Data Model . I tried using XLinks and other alternatives but I could not render it in the document. 
 So if anyone could assist me in creating a hyperlink</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: Creating HyperLink in DOCX Dynamic Template</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/69040?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 28 Aug 2019 08:21:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:471803d2-24d9-4393-ae71-e01dbe478549</guid><dc:creator>Larsen Rodrigues</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks Mike, I guess I would have to use HTML templates then. Actually the objective was to create a business card which has an image and links pointing to various external sites. As I wanted an image , I opted to use the dynamic DOCX template because outlook was finding it diffcult to display data using HTML and email smart service. So the last option I had was creating the business card in DOCX , the links in an HTML, zipping them together to download a zip file and then the user can manually copy the contents from both those documents into the outlook signature.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Creating HyperLink in DOCX Dynamic Template</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/69020?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Aug 2019 15:04:11 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:d543d28a-df11-4bf6-a33b-2700e81e50f0</guid><dc:creator>Mike Schmitt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;If you look at the underlying XML within a Word document (i.e. with a link previously added), you will find that links work really weirdly.&amp;nbsp; Any given hyperlink has a pointer to a link referenced in a completely different file within the .docx zip package.&amp;nbsp; I don&amp;#39;t know of any straightforward way to add dynamic new ones to this structure, other than deconstructing the zip file, pulling out the references file, manually editing it, re-adding it to the zip package, etc.&amp;nbsp; It would be a lot of work before even figuring out whether it would actually work.&amp;nbsp; Overall I recommend taking a different approach if at all possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
