Add the ability to have a URL or compose email to a view column to click on

It would be nice to have the ability to have a column in a view have either an email or a URL address to be clicked on. For an email address, it would compose the email and for a web address it would open the addressin a browser.

    All of this can be implemented inside the inViewEdit view event. You just need en eidtable culomn with en URL or may be with an icon as a value:

    Sub Inviewedit(Source As Notesuiview, Requesttype As Integer, Colprogname As Variant, Columnvalue As Variant, Continue As Variant)

    REM Define constants for request types
    Const QUERY_REQUEST = 1
    Const VALIDATE_REQUEST = 2
    Const SAVE_REQUEST = 3
    Const NEWENTRY_REQUEST = 4

    REM Select the request type
    Select Case Requesttype

    Case QUERY_REQUEST

    Dim db As NotesDatabase
    Dim doc As NotesDocument
    Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
    Dim link As String
    Dim caret As String

    Set db = Source.View.Parent
    Forall colName In Colprogname
    If colName = "<PROGRAMMATIC COLUMN NAME of Your EDITABLE column>" Then

    caret = source.CaretNoteID
    Set doc = db.GetDocumentByID(caret)

    'link = doc.<Link-Field-Name>(0)
    link = "https://www.google.com"

    If Not link = "" Then
    Call ws.URLOpen(link)
    End If
    continue = False
    Exit Sub
    End If
    End Forall
    Exit Sub
    Case VALIDATE_REQUEST

    Case SAVE_REQUEST

    End Select
    End Sub
