Is it possible to use “open web view” from within a Rich Text Component?

Should be able to. You can now assign actions to rich text components.
At least on the whole component. I don’t think you can add a hyperlink and open a web view from a specific piece of text within the rich text.

You could have multiple rich text components.
- One with some text and no action.
- A second with text, but with an ‘open web view’ action.
- A third with more text and no action.
That would kind of give the impression of an in-line hyperlink among other text, but it would still be on it’s own line.

@david When can we expect that the G in FAANG will stand for Glide instead of Google? 🙂

Cool little app!
May I ask how you did the side-scrolling “tape” in the header? Is it dynamic? Thanks!

This is the https target in the Open Web View action:
“[//docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10\_wWFJL61PMtYn40hvDxFXHW-v4mMaFD7staCHfdjAs/htmlembed/sheet?gid=201152306&range=D21:J35](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10_wWFJL61PMtYn40hvDxFXHW-v4mMaFD7staCHfdjAs/htmlembed/sheet?gid=201152306&range=D21:J35)”
Where:
10\_wWFJL61PMtYn40hvDxFXHW-v4mMaFD7staCHfdjAs= Sheet ID
201152306 = Tab ID
range=D21:J35 = Range to be rendered
