Question Hyperlink Custom Columns
I'm not sure this is the right place to ask this, but...

I want to create a custom column with the Type hyperlink. I want it to be a true, clickable link to the book online, i.e. Kindle, Standard eBooks, Smashwords, etc.

Since I think I am in the wrong place, please direct me to the right one.

It can be done in the baseline product, no plugin needed.

Create a #links/Links custom column:

Add Links

See and Click Links

Click image for larger version Name: see and click links.jpg Views: 43 Size: 226.6 KB ID: 218171

I have the column in the Book list, its cloaked it with an icon, and I edit it from there with F2. And I 'click a link' by tabbing to it in a detached Book details panel and pressing Enter.

This template was helpful to me for creating a similar link column:

I think this is the same question you asked in this thread. There are more answers there.
