Create a hyperlink using a context menu

Help & Support
1

Is there a way to add to the context menu a command to create a hyperlink in word ?
Right now one can copy the name to Word document and then Ctrl K
that name in the document and copy the full name from DO as the link.
Can that be automated ?

This seems more a question about Word than Opus?

You can use Opus and ActiveX to create a new document and paste a shortcut into it. Pasting the shortcut into an existing/open document is probably more difficult and a job for which Autohotkey seems to be the better choice.

Thanks lxp,
Indeed pasting Hyperlink into an existing & open document (Word, Excel, Access) is what I am looking for. That seem to be a useful extension. I am surprised that it comes up only now.
Sorry, I am not an expert in Dopus. What is Autohotkey. Where is it in Dopus ?

You'd need to write a VBA macro that gets the info from the clipboard and creates the hyperlink. Handling the clipboard looks painfully complicated:

Guess not too many people use Office as a file management tool :wink:
