Tap action with url example

[alanmilinovic]

My sensor has "map_link" attribute that is an url leading to the google maps (https://maps.google.com/) and providing longitude and latitude in query string, showing me the exact location of my entity.

What do I need to setup in configuration so that on tap the url defined in map_link attribute is open in a new tab? Do I also need to enable history for that entity in configuration.yaml?

This is what I tried but it is not working:

tap_action:
  - action: url
    url: '{{ state_attr("sensor.220d_location", "map_link") }}'

Hi, you only want to open the current value of the location or for each history ?

Ideally I would like to open original location not the current one.

Thank you for your effort. Can you please provide some info what needs to be done from configuration point of view? Do I need to enable history as well, and if yes, how?

here an example:

entity: person.julien
type: custom:logbook-card
attributes:
  - value: map_link
    type: url
    link_label: Google maps

It works very good. Thanks man, have a happy holidays.

One more thing. Is it easy to add possibility to support combined text with attributes for the value?

Like this:

entity: person.julien
type: custom:logbook-card
attributes:
  - value: 'https://maps.google.com/?q={{ latitude }},{{ longitude }}&ll={{ latitude }},{{ longitude }}&z=18'
    type: url
    link_label: Google maps
