Add hyperlinks to Powerpoint slides?

[Daniel Sabanes Bove]

Dear David/all,

for ease of navigation through a rather larger Powerpoint slidedeck, created using ReporteRs, I would be interested whether it is possible to create hooks on specific slides and hyperlink to them on other slides?

Powerpoint has this native functionality, via Insert -> Hyperlink -> Place in this Document -> select slide. 

Is this possible already via ReporteRs? 

Thank you,

best regards

Daniel

Hi,

No, this is not a feature of ReporteRs. 

This suggestion makes sense, so I will try to keep that in mind for future devs.

This would be a truly great extension. I would love to be able to attach a pos with a link in the Title or a text box at a specifiy xpos and ypos on a slide.

Motivation: Lets assume you have an overview chart on a slide not conveying any details for obvious reasons. Having a link to the live system near the chart will allow the viewer to click the link and drill down into details and explore details.

That would be absolutely awesome if this could be added. The output of ReporteRs would then become an integral part of an ecosystem with truly enormous power! Correction, even more power! 

This one of the most awesome extensions to the R ecosystem I have seen so far.

attaching a sample to give you an idea about the use case.

Hi, 

This feature is now available in officer package (ReporteRs reboot with no java).
