Use this dialog to hyperlink the text selected in the editor. The hyperlink may be to a local file or Internet address, specified in the familiar form of either a file path or a Uniform Resource Locator (URL). The link doesn't do anything while the hyperlinked text is viewed in the regular VISION editor; it becomes functional only when the hyperlinked text appears in an HTML document.
The VISION report generator can be made to generate HTML documents. Also, the VISION Learning Station displays VISION data in HTML documents. In both these forms, the link is active. Using menu item HTML 
Preview in HTML, you can preview the link in a temporary HTML document to see how it will behave in an HTML environment.
Notice the difference between this kind of link and a document link. A document link is associated with the data record (Task, Objective, Question, etc.) as a whole. It doesn't fit into any specific spot in the record, whereas the HTML link is integrated directly in the text of a specific field of the record.
URL
Type the file path or URL here. You may use the Local File button to navigate to a file. For URLs, you can paste the address from the address bar of your Internet browser, or you can simply begin typing the address.
As you type, matching suggestions from recently visited URLs will be presented. You may select from these suggestions using the Enter key or the mouse. (Only URLs visited in Internet Explorer are suggested, not URLs from other browsers.)
Local File
Click to open a file chooser dialog, with which to navigate to and link a file on your computer or local computer network.
Tooltip text
This is optional. It is the text that will appear as the floating tip when the mouse is positioned over the hyperlinked text in an HTML document. If empty, then by default the URL address will be used as the tip.
Open link in new window
If this is checked, then the hyperlink will open the target document in a new browser window, rather than in the same browser window.
