How to append hyperlink to replaceAllText command in Google Apps Script

Basing a script off of this tutorial - https://spreadsheet.dev/convert-each-row-google-sheets-into-slide-google-slides-apps-script, works perfectly fine. However I'm trying to populate a hyperlink as part of the script, i.e in my script

slide.replaceAllText("{{projectName}}", row[0]);
slide.replaceAllText("{{userStory}}", row[1]);
slide.replaceAllText("{{POC}}", row[2]);
slide.replaceAllText("{{stakeholderName}}", row[3]);
slide.replaceAllText("{{brief}}", row[4]);

"brief" in column 5 on my spreadsheet is a URL, and I'd like to have it not appear as the URL in my slide deck but as a hyperlink on the word "Brief".

I believe your goal is as follows.

• You want to replace {{brief}} with the text of Brief with the hyperlink of row[4] on a slide in Google Slides.

In this case, how about modifying your script as follows?

From:

slide.replaceAllText("{{brief}}", row[4]);

To:

slide.getShapes().forEach(shape => {
  const text = shape.getText();
  if (text.asString().includes("{{brief}}")) {
    text.setText("Brief").getTextStyle().setLinkUrl(row[4]);
  }
});

• By this modification, a shape including a text of {{brief}} is replaced with the text of Brief with the hyperlink of row[4].

Reference:

• setLinkUrl(url) of Class TextStyle
