Clickable Hyperlinks and Ahref Fields

We’re excited to introduce enhanced hyperlink support in Zing Data’s table visualizations. This update allows users to add fully interactive, clickable links directly into table cells—enabling seamless navigation to internal tools, documentation, dashboards, or any relevant external resources.

What’s New

Zing now renders hyperlinks directly within table outputs under the following conditions:

  1. Plain URLs

    If a cell contains text that begins with http:// or https://, it will automatically be rendered as a clickable link.

  2. HTML <a href> Tags

    You can provide full HTML anchor tags using the following format:

    <a href="https://example.com">Text to Display</a>
    

    Anchor tags can optionally include a target attribute to control how links open. For example:

    <a href="https://example.com" target="_blank">Open in New Tab</a>
    

Example

Displayed Text Field Text
https://api.example.com/docs https://api.example.com/docs
Internal Report <a href="https://reports.example.com/q1" target="_blank">Q1 Report</a>
Support Ticket <a href="https://support.example.com/ticket/123">Ticket #123</a>

Zing will render all of the above values as clickable links within your table view.

Technical Notes

  • Only valid http or https links are rendered unless using the a href tags
  • The optional target attribute is supported (_blank, _self, etc.).
  • All other HTML or script content is stripped or sanitized to maintain security.

Why It Matters

Clickable links in tables make it easier to connect your data with actionable context. Whether linking to reports, actions to take, internal systems, or support resources, this feature reduces the friction of switching tools or taking a deep-drive just by clicking on an item of interest.
