Detect Hyperlink Type
An Excel file can have different types of hyperlinks like external, cell reference, file path, etc. Aspose.Cells for JavaScript via C++ supports the feature to detect the type of hyperlink. The types of hyperlinks are represented by the TargetModeType Enumeration. The TargetModeType Enumeration has the following members.
- External: External link
- FilePath: Local and full path to files/folders.
- Email: Email
- CellReference: Link to cell or named range.
To check the type of hyperlink, the Hyperlink class provides a linkType property with a return type of TargetModeType. The following code snippet demonstrates the use of the linkType property by using this source excel file.
Source Code

const arrayBuffer = await file.arrayBuffer();
// Instantiating a Workbook object from the uploaded file
const workbook = new Workbook(new Uint8Array(arrayBuffer));
// Get the first (default) worksheet
const worksheet = workbook.worksheets.get(0);
// Create a range A1:A7 (original code created A1:B7 but used A1 to A7 in parameters)
const range = worksheet.cells.createRange("A1", "A7");
// Get Hyperlinks in range
const hyperlinks = range.hyperlinks;
let outputHtml = '<p>Hyperlinks found:</p><ul>';
if (typeof hyperlinks.forEach === 'function') {
hyperlinks.forEach(link => {
outputHtml += `<li>${link.textToDisplay}: ${link.linkType}</li>`;
});
} else {
for (let i = 0; i < hyperlinks.count; i++) {
const link = hyperlinks.get(i);
outputHtml += `<li>${link.textToDisplay}: ${link.linkType}</li>`;
}
}
outputHtml += '</ul>';
resultDiv.innerHTML = outputHtml;

The following is the output generated by the code snippet given above.
