hide URL in hyperlink doc

general discussion
1

I have to create hyperlinks for our users to jump to another website where is requires login info. We are going to have the login info pass in as URL query string.

We want to hide the URL text so when user click properties for their hyperlink, the login (and password) will not show up.

  • is there a way to hide URL text in properties page
  • or to disable the properties link altogether

Sure, add some Javascript to the webpage to do this, it is a somewhat common thing. Of course, a user can just disable Javascript on that page to get around it. A much better solution is not send the password via the URL, since that can easily be stolen :slight_smile:
