Using the HREF Operator, you can combine two data inputs, one representing the link URL and the other representing the link text, to create a hyperlink in your simulation.  Unfortunately, if you try using records in a datasheet to populate a data table with a series of hyperlinks, this approach falls apart.

A fairly simple workaround, however, is to populate your data table with the link text and connect that to a Link widget that refreshes your page or opens up a pop-up window. The refreshed page or pop-up window can then use the the HREF Operator to compile the values from the Clipboard record and display the desired hyperlink. The attached iDoc demonstrates how to build this scenario.
