and converting the field labels to links to external or internal URLs.

   | Field | Input value |
   |-|-|
   | Hint | Type text to use as a tooltip that appears when a user places the cursor on the field label. |
   | URL | Enter the URL of the target file to open when the field label or icon is clicked. This can be a complete URL to a file outside the instance, or a relative URL to a target on the instance. Note: Links aren't supported in Workspace. |
