How come SGA does not recognize a hyperlink / URL address to a webpage?
It is a feature that would come in handy. For example, Baltimore County, Maryland, USA has downloadable shape files of parcels where the associated DBF file contains hyperlinks to the website of the Maryland Department of Assessments and Taxation. One could click on one of the hyperlinks and be directed to the webpage of a particular parcel which gives the landowner's name, deed reference, tax account, etc.
It provides the same capabilities for the shape file you can download for the zoning. One can click on a hyperlink that directs you to a webpage that has information about the property's zoning classification.
If one was to open shape file up where the DBF contains hyperlinks in MapWindow, which I'm not that much of a fan of, it would recognize the URL as a URL and you could click on it and be directed to the webpage.
It is something I was just wondering about. Can someone provide an answer? Also, is there any inclination to develop this capability in SAGA?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
AFAIR this had been working in the past by holding the ALT key while left-clicking the link in the attribute table. But I can't get it working right now. Maybe the transition to wxWidgets 3.0 or something else has caused this regression. We need to have a more detailed look.

Hi,
