Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding web, document, email, and in-presentation location links to text or objects in presentations, which is useful for navigation-focused slide decks. | Word for the web supports links to external websites, email addresses, headings, and bookmarks within a document. | Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides support adding, updating, and removing links; bookmarks are available in Google Docs for in-document navigation. | Notion supports page links and backlinks to connect related pages in a workspace. | Acrobat supports adding links to PDFs and linking to destinations within PDF documents. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS focuses on presentation navigation, so you can link an object directly to a web page, file, email address, or slide location in one presentation workflow. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on document links, headings, and bookmarks rather than slide-show navigation. | Compared with WPS: link support spans multiple editors, but bookmark-based internal navigation is described for Google Docs rather than Slides. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance centers on connected pages and backlinks in a workspace, not slide-based presentation jumps. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance centers on PDF link management and destinations instead of presentation objects and slide navigation. |
| Official Source | — | Links in Word for the web | Work with links & bookmarks | Creating links & backlinks | Add links to PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to build a presentation with clickable navigation, WPS Hyperlink on macOS fits that workflow well. The other products also support links, but their official guidance is more focused on documents, workspace pages, or PDFs.
