Hi all, I am working on my portfolio and want to add external links to some parts of it. For the most part, I figured out how to do it. However, I couldn’t find any resource on how to add a ‘mailto’ link to the prototype.

I’d appreciate it if someone who has done it before could lead me the way.

Thanks!

Hey @Pam, I appreciate you getting in touch about this.

As it stands right now, we don’t have a built-in way to do that, sadly. However, it sounds like an awesome idea for a feature request. I actually noticed someone in our community mentioned something similar not too long ago here

Feel free to check out their post? If you like the idea, please drop a vote on it!

Thanks again for reaching out!

Create an interaction with the “Open link” action and paste the email along with the mailto scheme into the input field: mailto:test@example.com.

The open link knteraction is a decent patch, but…

 

that only helps in presentation mode.

 

an inline text link will launch the link from editor view

 

so where we need to give direct links to developer resources and documentation, no one could use that link from editor view 🙄

 

this really is one of those small things that should be a basic feature. A “mailto” link should not get converted to a “copy to clipboard” action. If we wanted that, we would have made it different.
