URL field as hyperlink?

[horus68]

I have a Calibre custom column to act as a hyperlink to a social library page for comments. Type: Text long (act like short text, as a title). I'm able to display the custom column on COPS details page but I would want the field to be used as an hyperlink so users could click on it (with a _blank target). Is that possible using COPS?

I have found a workaround for this

1- In Calibre Create a custom column (Preferences -> Custom Columns) 2- For - Column Type: "Long text, like comments, not show in the Tag Browsers" 3- For - Interpret this column as: "Plain text formatted using markdown"

4- Restart 5- Edit metadata details for a book 6- In the newly created field insert a value as an html link <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/48435649 " target="_blank">See reader comments</a>

Notes:

• With Markdown fields: Markdown code will not be hyperlinked!
• Do not use Html fields: the target code will be cleared by Calibre
• Do not use fields hyperlinked in Cops "Listing pages" or layout for the books using it will break. Display only in "Books details pages" and it will work perfectly!

Cool!!

Something for the wiki to preserve it for others when this "issue" is closed (as solved)? :-)
