Hyperlink Support

[Microtribute]

Is it possible to make a cell a hyperlink either to an external link or to a worksheet in the same document?

Hi @Microtribute
Sorry for a late reply - was away on my vacation.
Could you show me an example workbook so I could check out the details?

@Microtribute
try workaround via formula. Something like:

let
  full_url = ...
  full_formula = Xlsx.NormalFormula . Xlsx.Formula
    $ "HYPERLINK(\"" <> full_url <> "\", \"" <> cell_text <> "\")"
in Xlsx.def { Xlsx._cellFormula = Just $ Xlsx.CellFormula full_formula False False }

It was adapted from here.

If this workaround works then what would you imagine as "proper" relplacement as a part of the library API?

[GulinSS]

Probably something like in Python

Python is a bit different from Haskell but I'm OK with adding some helper if you will create a PR.
And yet I don't understand if you want something different to the workaround above.

[GulinSS]

As for now the workaround via formula was more than enough for me. I've added it here just for somebody who will come to here via google search + github search.

PR with this as a helper is welcome
