About This Feature

Overview

Insert Link lets you add a web address or email address to a spreadsheet cell and turn text into a clickable hyperlink. After insertion, the text in the cell appears with blue underlined styling so it is easy to identify and open.

This feature includes two common tasks:

Insert a hyperlink: add display text and a target link to a cell.
Manage a hyperlink: open, edit, or remove an existing link.

It is useful for reference sheets, online forms, project trackers, and shared spreadsheets that need quick access to external pages or online documents.

System Requirements

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android spreadsheets, WPS lets you use Insert > Hyperlink to add display text and a target address to a cell, then open, edit, or remove that link later.	Microsoft Word supports creating or editing hyperlinks from the Insert tab, including links to web pages, files, email addresses, and locations in a document.	Google Docs Editors supports adding, updating, and removing links; in Sheets, it also supports linking to a range of cells.	Notion supports page links and automatic backlinks, and links update when a page title changes.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding links in PDFs and adjusting link formatting, position, and destination behavior.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The workflow is centered on spreadsheet cells on Android, which is convenient for quickly maintaining external addresses inside tabular data.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents broader hyperlink target types, but its official guidance here is focused on document workflows rather than Android spreadsheet cell management.	Compared with WPS: Google also supports links to cell ranges in Sheets, while the WPS workflow here is focused on inserting and managing external addresses in cells.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on connected pages and knowledge relationships than on spreadsheet cell hyperlink management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF link editing, while WPS is more aligned with maintaining links directly inside spreadsheet data.
