LinkToURL (SAP Library - Keyboard Access for Web Dynpro for ABAP / for Java)

LinkToURL

The LinkToURL UI element is a hypertext link. When you choose this link, you are directed to a user-defined Web resource (URL).

The LinkToUrl is used to exclusively to open URLs in a separate window. To leave the Web Dynpro application and display a new URL use an exit plug.

Note

To enable the development of Structure link accessible applications, the tooltip property is checked during the syntax check if the property text is not set.

A tooltip does not necessarily have to be set for this UI element, but it could make sense to set it if it contains detailed semantic information.
