[Solved] Using "Help URL"

[dreamquartz]

Hello All,

We are in the process of expanding Help functions for the User, and one of the thing I came across is the "Help URL" as part of either a Label Field or a List Box.

I have been searching to set it up, but cannot seem to determine how.
The easiest way I can think of of creating something like a 'cursor focussed' F1 Help, is having a document with bookmarks that can be selected.
But that appears not to be the case.

Can someone provide me with some insight?

Kind regards,

Dream

For context sensitive help I use a tiny + button above a field that needs lengthy explanation to pop up a dialog

We do that too. A small pop-up with some basic information, but we would like to provide the User with more.

From the Userś POV context related Help is very useful.
Either using F1 general Help, like what is normal in LO and OO, but also a Help function that provides the User the option to go to the location in the Documentation where there is more comprehensive Help available (the principle of 'Bookmarks' in a Writer Document or so).

The following links provide some info about "Help URL", but we could not find anything so far about the use.
https://www.openoffice.org/api/docs/com ... ml#HelpURL
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Doc ... ernization
https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/en-US/ ... tools.html

The 'hover over' with the 'Question Mark' (see: What's This? under the 'Help tab @ e,g LO Writer or Calc) principle has been suggested.
Information about the "What's This?" function is even more 'sketchy'.

Hope this 'Helps' a little of what we would like to accomplish,

Find some extension where this is implemented.

There is not really anything there @ least what I could find.

Thinking about a pushbutton.
Can a Bookmark in a Writer document be accessed that way?
I have tried all the variations I could imagine, but to no avail.
I can copy the link location and place it in an other file, but cannot seem to make it work as a button.

Indeed there is next to nothing on the topic. All I found was this, https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question ... ton/#57940 which looks like some html solution, (never got the download to open the sample db of the author. However if familiar with html, css etc ?, maybe an option.
