About This Feature
Overview
Open Link Domain in Chat Client Settings lets administrators define which link domains can open directly inside the chat client. After a domain allowlist is configured in the admin console, links that match the listed domains can open directly in the chat client, while other links need to be copied into a browser.
This feature is useful for enterprise chat security management, access control for commonly used business websites, and standardized internal access rules. Multiple valid domains can be entered at one time, separated by commas. Up to 250 domains can be configured, with a total limit of 5000 characters.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports centralized configuration of an allowlist of link domains that can open directly inside the chat client. | Microsoft Office documentation describes security alerts for suspicious website links and trusted sites handling, mainly for Office document link security rather than a chat-client domain allowlist. | Google Docs supports adding, updating, removing, and previewing links, with help content focused on links inside documents. | Notion supports web links, page links, block links, and link previews, with a focus on content linking and preview display. | Adobe enterprise settings include authorized domain management, mainly for organization and asset-related domain control. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Built for the chat-client link opening scenario with centralized domain allowlist control in enterprise settings. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft public guidance focuses more on document link security prompts and trusted sites than chat-client domain opening control. | Compared with WPS: Google public guidance focuses more on document editing links and previews than enterprise chat domain allowlisting. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on knowledge collaboration, page linking, and previews than chat security control. | Compared with WPS: Adobe domain settings are oriented more toward enterprise asset authorization and organization management than chat-client link opening control. |
| Official Source | — | Security alerts about suspicious websites | Work with links & bookmarks | Links & backlinks | Asset settings |
Overall Conclusion: For teams that need centralized control over which domains can open directly inside a chat client, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. The compared products publish more guidance around document links, previews, or enterprise domain administration, so their focus differs by scenario.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Core Need | How This Feature Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Allowing common business websites | Enterprise administrators | Team members repeatedly need to copy links into a browser | Add common business domains to the allowlist so matching links can open directly in the chat client |
| 2 | Controlling chat security scope | Security administrators | The organization does not want unknown sites to open directly from chat | Only trusted domains are allowed, while other links stay browser-based |
| 3 | Standardizing internal system access | IT administrators | Internal system entry points are numerous and inconsistent | Maintain a unified list of internal system domains |
| 4 | Onboarding new employees | Team leads | New members may not know which links can open directly | A preset allowlist creates a more consistent access experience |
| 5 | Centralized domain maintenance | Operations staff | Distributed maintenance can miss commonly used sites | Update the domain allowlist in one admin location |
