// Gets the hyperlinks found in the first selected slide.
await PowerPoint.run(async (context) => {

  const hyperlinks: PowerPoint.HyperlinkCollection = slide.hyperlinks.load("address,screenTip");
  const hyperlinksCount = hyperlinks.getCount();
  await context.sync();

  console.log(`${hyperlinksCount.value} hyperlinks found in first selected slide:`);
  for (let link of hyperlinks.items) {
    console.log(`Address: "${link.address}" (Screen tip: "${link.screenTip}")`);
  }
});

Properties

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

items

Gets the loaded child items in this collection.

Methods

add(target, options)

Adds a hyperlink to the specified target with the given options. If the target already contains any hyperlinks, they will be deleted. The new hyperlink may appear anywhere in the collection and is not guaranteed to be added at the end.

getCount()

Gets the number of hyperlinks in the collection.

getItemAt(index)

Gets a hyperlink using its zero-based index in the collection. An error is thrown if the index is out of range. Throws an InvalidArgument exception when the index is out of range.

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that's passed to it.) Whereas the original PowerPoint.HyperlinkCollection object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as PowerPoint.Interfaces.HyperlinkCollectionData) that contains an "items" array with shallow copies of any loaded properties from the collection's items.

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.
