Running a macro when clicking in a Hyperlink in Writer

[brunnerdan]

Is it possible (or how is it possible) to specify a macro that should be run when clicking on an URL (hyperlink) that is defined in a Writer document ?

Do you wish to merely run a macro as the hyperlink, or to open a hyperlink to another file and run the macro on it?

I would like to run the macro as a hyperlink. The idea is that the macro get the "description" of the hyperlink and executes a macro taking the description as parameter.

This URL: vnd.sun.star.script:MyLibrary.MyModule.MyRoutine?language=Basic&location=document&MyExtraArg=AnythingElse
calls the following macro MyLibrary.MyModule.MyRoutine with the full URL string as argument:

Code: Select all

Sub MyRoutine(sURL$)
print sURL 'prints the above URL
myArg = getArgumentFromURL(sURL,"MyExtraArg")
print myArg 'prints AnythingElse
End Sub

Thanks for this feature that I didin't know but is not exactly what I need.

I try to give some more explanation. Lets say that I add a description in a writer document that points to a website (for example Oracle = description, URL = http://www.oracle.com). When I open the writer document and I <crtrl>+<mouseclic> on the Oracle, I open the website of Oracle in a webrowser. My wish would be able to define a specific macro that is called if Iwhen I make a <simpleclic> on Oracle.

I hope that my explanation is clear enough.

I think you can not have what you want easily. Hyperlinks pointing to Oracle.com point to nothing but Oracle.com. Anything else would be a security flaw.
This is the best I can get with some copied Basic code:
