Maximo map identify tool: Add a hyperlink?

Maximo 7.6.1.1/Spatial 7.6.0.5

I have URLs in my GIS layers in Maximo Spatial:

Is there a way to display a URL as a hyperlink so that a user can open it in a new tab/window in the browser?

(Or invoke a URL REST request on the server-side -- whatever applies.)

^{Keyword: Maximo Spatial}

The solution was to use HTML in the URL.

• The webpage opens in a new tab in Google Chrome (which is good).

<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&layer=c&cbll=43.000000,-78.000000'> Link </a>

The SQL behind this is:

'<a href=''http://maps.google.com/maps?q=' ||chr(38)|| 'layer=c' ||chr(38)|| 
    'cbll=43.000000,-78.000000''> Link </a>' as description,

Hint:

In Toad, the ampersand was being interpreted as a variable. I had to escape/replace the ampersand with ||chr(38)|| .
