As I use the tiles horizontal layout to display the different categories of my app for example, a link to detail screen is enought. Also if I want to drive people to a specific detail screen of a shop I want to promote, it works. But if I want to advertise a product, an event or whatever linked to a specific shop which I want to link to an external website, I can’t do it. It will be great to have that kind of choice in the inline list action select menu. What do you think? Tks ---

Do you mean that an additional Action should be added to the sheet view besides the only one there (Link detail screen). Specifically, Open link? I guess you would also have to have a dropdown to specify which column holds the link you want to launch. ---

Great idea. I want the same as it allows for some great designs > [@Tiles as links to screens](https://community.glideapps.com/t/tiles-as-links-to-screens/2086): > > The flexibility of layout could be enhanced quite a bit if it was possible to make a tile (fx as an inline list) link to a specific screen - just like what is possible with the image and the button component. These can have action = “Link to Screen” Right now you can only have one link horizontally - but allowing tiles to have link to screen would make it easier to create more links on the same line. Somehow the screen to link to should be available as a column in the same row as other informa… ---

@david this request seems to come up over time. I wonder whether it would be difficult to implement. I believe it would give some great possibilities and allow for some more compact apps ---

I know @Jason has some thoughts on actions that could enable this. ---

External links as an action is definitely going to be a thing sooner or later ---
