How would I go about adding a URL link to my app so a end user can select it and jump to that in a web browser.

Hi Robert

The easiest way to open an external link is using the return external.uri() syntax from the App JS. Below is a basic example.

function openLink() {
    var url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page"
    return external.uri(url);
}

This can be easily triggered from a button, basic example below.

<button label="Open link" on-press="openLink" icon="fa-link" validate="false" style="solid" />
