How to append a hyperlink on d3 element on custom visual
Hi,
I need to insert a hyperlink on d3 element, e.g. when user click on the element, it will direct the browser to another page. Is it doable?
I followed these 2 links but had no success.

Can anyone help please?
---------
my visual.ts code is simple, basically have a rect and need to get this rect clickable with the hyperlink. Thanks!
Hi Anonymous,
Because custom visuals are sandboxed, they prevent external links, as they can (potentially) inadvertently expose users to malicious intent. launchUrl is the supported way to do this - I see you've tried, but this is how I've got it working.
If implemented correctly, then the user gets prompted that they are about to navigate away. I have something like this in the Violin Plot, e.g.:
Here's where I'm implementing in my code, if this helps you to clarify how it's being done.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
