[kenkaigu]

My feature request is to include an option on a button made from choice skill, to redirect a link to an external url...

Here's a detailed explanation including screenshots

This option will be really beneficial using choice skill buttons since at the moment, you can only add an external url if you are using cards...

@kenkaigu for temporary work around. if you are wanting this for web channel than you may create event hook and handle it on webpage where you injecting botpress. by

window.addEventListener('message', function(event) {            
      if (event.data.name === 'yesevent'){
window.location.href="www.anothersite.com"
}
})

I solved this problem, doing this: is enought add a simples text option and put an html external link as <a href="https://www.amazon.com">click to visit

click to visit

How did you manage to get this to work. Whenever I place the link within the standard node using text nothing happens.
