About This Feature

Overview

Insert Hyperlink is a built-in link feature in WPS Office for iOS smart documents. It helps you add clickable links to document text, then edit, remove, open, and view those links more clearly inside the document.

Core capabilities include:

  • Insert a hyperlink: add display text and a target link at the current position.
  • Edit a hyperlink: update the existing link text or destination.
  • Remove a hyperlink: keep the text while removing the link relationship.
  • Open a hyperlink: go directly to the linked destination from the document.
  • Title view for hyperlinks: display the linked page title instead of a raw URL for easier reading.

This feature is useful for research notes, project documents, shared references, and mobile document review when you need to organize web resources in one place.
