The hyperlink can be inserted into the editor for quick access to the related information. The hyperlink itself can be text or an image.

Point the cursor anywhere within the editor where you want to insert the link. It is also possible to select a text or an image within the editor that can be converted to the hyperlink. Click the insert hyperLink tool on the toolbar. The insert link dialog will open. The dialog has the following options.

When you type URL and enter key to the Rich Text Editor, the typed URL will be automatically changed into the hyperlink.

Auto URL

When the EnableAutoUrl property is enabled, it will accept the given URL (relative or absolute) without validating it for hyperlinks. Otherwise, the given URL will be automatically converted to absolute path URL by prefixing https:// for hyperlinks, and it defaults to false.

Add the custom tools on the selected link inside the Rich Text Editor through the quick toolbar.
