Clickable links in console

[kningyi]

Hi,

I was wondering that since Sitecore IDs are clickable in the console (leading to the Sitecore item in Content Editor), is there a way to make clickable urls?

e.g. I would like to be able to click on a url from the console to open in a new tab, or to download from that url.

Also, I notice the ID links only lead to the the item in the shell context language, even if there's no version for that language. Is there a way to open to a different language instead? Like say, open to the current language of the ISE window.

Do you have a sample script or command you run that produces data with a url?

Like these yellow clickable links:

So it'll be great if I can do something like Display-Url -Path "/test.txt" -Download or similar to allow it to be clickable in console, as sometimes I would like to display a list of links in console, and click on them ad-hoc

It's more common to write reports where the column values contain the hyperlinks. In the case of Urls, those are generally generated based on Sitecore context.

This appears to work OOTB.

Hmm.. so is it just my system that's not working? :(

I see, the console and ISE have different formatting behavior.

Nice.

While we are at it, is it possible to use the current ISE language when clicking on the ID link?

e.g. item:load(id={B82B0E53-3EB6-4AA6-9E39-60BE22426E02},language=en-GB)

This issue is stale because it has been open for 365 days with no activity.

That's not stale. @michaellwest actually implemented this and it's released in 7.0.
