Sometimes it’s nice to have a link in the plugin which opens a Help Document for people to read.
I was thinking of just adding a PDF to the root of the Plugin and using
<sp-link> href="help.pdf">Help</sp-link>
but this doesnt appear to work as it return this message.
There is no application set to open the URL plugin:/help.pdf.
Is there a way to do this or is the modern way to link to a Webpage containing the “Help Document”
You have an extra closing bracket in the tag. The link needs to be inside the closing bracket. Adding a link like this works with HTTP/HTTPS. However, when trying to link to a relative document in the plugin folder, it doesn’t work. There may be another way to do that, not sure because I haven’t looked into that.
It should be like this.
<sp-link href="https://yoursite.com/yourpage.html">Link Text</sp-link>
I have tried numrous ways but I just do think this can be done unfortunately.
When using <sp-link>, the expectation is that href will point at a web address. A way to launch local resources is coming in 2021.
Thanks @kerrishotts thats cleared that up nicely
