Default Still need help with hyperlinks in pulldown list. Anyone know how

In the example below, there is a list used as a pull down menu. The object
is, when the pull down is used, the "list" consists of "comments" most
commonly used in the Comments field of a report. Some of the entries in the
list are actually hyperlinks. (The 1st 4 in the list below are hyperlinks)

The pull down works fine. But when one of the hyperlinks is selected, it
becomes normal text when it goes into the comment cell.

What we want is for the customer to be able to go directly to the area of
the spreadsheet with that specific information.

There is no way to know in advance what comments will be needed in any
particular row. It all depends on the data in the report. To save time, and
automate as much as possible, there are "standard" comments, ones most
commonly used.

For example, if a particular row is for reporting "Position Deviation",
(which might be row 27 in one report, lines 2, 12 and 34 in another, etc.)
and if that Position Deviation exceeds tolerance, then there is a location in
the spreadsheet for calculating Bonus Tolerance.

So this particular comment might be . . .

OK with Bonus Tolerance. Click Here to go to "Bonus Tolerance Calcs"

As opposed to being a text line saying . . .

OK with Bonus Tolerance. See "Bonus Tolerance Calcs" section


This is an abreviated typical pull down list. 1 through 4 are supposed to
be hyperlinks. In the actual reference list, the hyperlinks work fine.

OK with Bonus Tolerance. Click Here to go to "Bonus Tolerance Calcs"
See Min Max section below Click Here to go to "MinMax"
See Normal Deviation section below. Click Here to go to "NormDev"
Verified with Calipers: Click Here to go to "MinMax"
Verified on Plate with indicator
Verified with Calipers
Verified with Mics
See Profile Charts Tab

Note: The entire line can be a link. It doesn't have to be just the "Click
here".
