What I am saying is that you could type in a hyperlink into the macro so that when the macro is used, it will have a click-able link that would open another tab to the linked site. This could be a temporary solution allowing the gm or players to quickly reference spells, feats or abilities from any game system. I would also like it if you could link them up to handouts aswell.

This is doable via the api. I've added it as part of my PowerCards script.

Isn't this already allowed? You can't hyperlink text, but you can use URL's.

Yes, I have seen that this is possible via API, but I was referring to making it core.

I understand that you can type out URL addresses, but it kind of looks messy, by including hyperlinks, the chat long looks cleaner...

Can't argue with that. There's a suggestion to add basic html to chat that would probably solve the "messy" url problem. Basic HTML/other formatting output to chat

I believe this is currently being tested on the Dev. (basic markup for chat, including adding url hyperlinks) and will probably be included in the Update of Holding soon to be released.

This Suggestion thread can actually be marked as Completed by a Moderator now.

Here are some associated tips on how to do it, now that the requested feature is implemented and live on the public Roll20:

The following codes now work in the chat & you can put them into Macros:


[This is a link to Google and you can put any words to describe it here inside the brackets](http://www.google.com)

[This will display a Picture in the chat and you can put descriptive words here in the brackets that show up if the image link is broken](https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png)

So that's pretty cool right? Now check out these macros I created, if you wish to create Macro buttons to make it even easier for posting a Picture or a Link with pop-up dialog boxes in the game...

This helps your Players to post a picture in the chat room using a macro button!


/me describes it so you can imagine this,
?{What is it a picture of? Write a concise caption:|Picture of }
[Image](?{Image URL ending with JPG, GIF, or PNG|https://app.roll20.net/images/quantumroll2.png})

This helps you post a Hyperlink in the chatroom using a macro button!


/me Posting a web link...
[?{What is it a link to? Write a concise name for the link:|Website Name }](?{Paste Web URL here|http://roll20.net})
