Hyperlink

This article demonstrates adding, accessing, removing, and updating hyperlinks on shapes using Aspose.Slides for Node.js via Java.

Add a Hyperlink

Create a rectangle shape with a hyperlink pointing to an external website.

function addHyperlink() {
    let presentation = new aspose.slides.Presentation();
    try {
        let slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        let shape = slide.getShapes().addAutoShape(aspose.slides.ShapeType.Rectangle, 50, 50, 150, 50);
        shape.getTextFrame().setText("Aspose");

        let paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        let textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);

        let hyperlink = new aspose.slides.Hyperlink("https://www.aspose.com");
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(hyperlink);

        presentation.save("hyperlink.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Access a Hyperlink

Read hyperlink from a shape’s text portion.

function accessHyperlink() {
    let presentation = new aspose.slides.Presentation("hyperlink.pptx");
    try {
        let slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        // Assuming the first shape contains the text with hyperlink.
        let shape = slide.getShapes().get_Item(0);

        let paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        let textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);

        let hyperlink = textPortion.getPortionFormat().getHyperlinkClick();
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Remove a Hyperlink

Clear the hyperlink from a shape’s text.

function removeHyperlink() {
    let presentation = new aspose.slides.Presentation("hyperlink.pptx");
    try {
        let slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        // Assuming the first shape contains the text with hyperlink.
        let shape = slide.getShapes().get_Item(0);

        let paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        let textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);

        textPortion.getPortionFormat().setHyperlinkClick(null);

        presentation.save("hyperlink_removed.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}

Update a Hyperlink

Change the target of an existing hyperlink. Use HyperlinkManager to modify text that already contains a hyperlink, which mimics how PowerPoint updates hyperlinks safely.

function updateHyperlink() {
    let presentation = new aspose.slides.Presentation("hyperlink.pptx");
    try {
        let slide = presentation.getSlides().get_Item(0);

        // Assuming the first shape contains the text with hyperlink.
        let shape = slide.getShapes().get_Item(0);

        let paragraph = shape.getTextFrame().getParagraphs().get_Item(0);
        let textPortion = paragraph.getPortions().get_Item(0);

        // Changing a hyperlink inside existing text should be done via
        // HyperlinkManager rather than setting the property directly.
        // This mimics how PowerPoint safely updates hyperlinks.
        textPortion.getPortionFormat().getHyperlinkManager().setExternalHyperlinkClick("https://new.example.com");

        presentation.save("hyperlink_updated.pptx", aspose.slides.SaveFormat.Pptx);
    } finally {
        presentation.dispose();
    }
}
