About This Feature
Overview
Hyperlink is a built-in document editing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you connect selected text to a web page, an email address, or a location inside the current document so readers can jump to related content more quickly.
The available link targets include:
- Web page links for opening a URL.
- Email links for starting a message to a specified address.
- In-document links for jumping to headings or the beginning or end of a document.
After insertion, hyperlinks are typically displayed as blue underlined text, which is useful for references, navigation, explanatory documents, and collaborative drafts.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports inserting web links, email links, and in-document location links in iOS documents for navigation and reference use. | Word supports hyperlinks to web pages, files, email addresses, and places in the current document. | Google Docs supports links to URLs and email addresses, and uses bookmarks for links within a document. | Notion supports page links and automatic backlinks for connecting related pages. | Acrobat supports adding links in PDFs and provides link-related editing tools. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: On iOS, WPS provides a direct Tools → Insert → Hyperlink path and covers three common link targets: web, email, and in-document locations. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page describes broader hyperlink types, including file links, but the page is centered on Word in general rather than a focused iOS insertion flow. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs uses bookmarks for in-document jumps and is oriented toward online collaboration; WPS provides a direct hyperlink setup flow in mobile document editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on page relationships and backlinks than on a traditional document hyperlink insertion panel. | Compared with WPS: Adobe's link workflow is mainly for PDF editing, while WPS is aligned with everyday text document navigation and reference links. |
