Sometimes it’s useful to be able to add links to text fields, either for exporting PDFs or making navigating to-from external resources easier for collaborators.

In my case, I’m trying to edit a resume in Penpot and it’s something I’m missing from Figma.

Hi @aronkvh,

Thanks for the suggestion! This is already in our backlog to be considered in the future, though it hasn’t been prioritized yet.

I tried to work around it by adding it in another app, but all PDF-editor software I tried seems to break the file Penpot exports

Any updates? This is a critical feature that will prevent me from switching, I am kind of stunned that it isn’t included.
