Use Hyperlinks in Fields
The Hyperlink field assigns a hyperlink to any piece of text.
The hyperlink works the same way as a hyperlink attached to an object. When
the cursor pauses over the text, a hyperlink cursor is displayed, along with a
tooltip that describes the hyperlink. Hold down the CTRL key and click to
follow the link.
NOTE The Hyperlink field uses an absolute path to a file; the HYPERLINK command
can create a hyperlink with a relative path.
