The native Microsoft Access database is the only database I know of that has a formal, named hyperlink field type (data type) which can be used for a web destination, email address, file or folder location, and so on. (By "named" I mean the hyperlink has a text field which is displayed with a color and is often underlined and or highlighted.) LibreOffice Calc has a hyperlink data type (of sorts) that can be entered into any cell (regardless of cell's base type). Writer hyperlinks can be a text type or use a graphic. So why not a hyperlink data type in Base's native database? If Base had a hyperlink data type, it would free us Access slaves from the grip of Microsoft's cruel, ill-advised, frustrating, non-intuitive, and just plain ugly "modern" user interfaces. So I come begging the LibreOffice development community to free us as soon as possible with a hyperlink data type for Base. If Microsoft can do it, surely the folks at LibreOffice can too.
Addendum to the above -- In addition to a hyperlink data type for LibreOffice Base, if Base were able to insert a hyperlink into a text data type field like LibreOffice Calc inserts a hyperlink in to a spreadsheet cell, that too would be very usefull.
Ok, let's set to NEW.
