Hello,
it is possible to add links inside chat conversations in Webex, but I would like to use special links from ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse, these have following form: "adt://S4H/sap/bc/adt/oo/classes/cl_salv_table/source/main#start=143,0", so the don't start with http but radther with adt. With Eclipse and ADT Plugin installed, if you try to open such link, you will be redirected directly to the source code inside Eclipse.
However, when I try to put such link in the Webex chat (I use the feature for formatting text):
it will display the text as link (blue and underlined), but mouse cursor will not change to hand, like it does with http links, when I hover over it and also nothig happens, when I click such link:
What can I do, to make such links work?
Thank you in advance!

Hello, @OndrejSeman
To make special adt links from ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse work in Webex chat, you may need to adjust the settings or use a workaround, as Webex may not natively support these types of links. Here are a few steps you can try:
Check Webex Settings: Look for any settings within Webex that control which types of links are allowed. It’s possible that non-http links are restricted.
Use a URL Shortener: Convert the adt link into a short URL using a URL shortener service that allows custom schemes. This might make Webex recognize it as a clickable link.
Create an HTML File: Create a simple HTML file with the adt link and host it on a web server. Then, share the http URL of this HTML file in the chat. When users click on it, it will open the HTML file in their browser, which can then redirect to the adt link.
Use a Text Replacement Tool: If you frequently share these links, consider using a text replacement tool that can automatically convert a keyword into the full adt link when typed.
Manual Copy-Paste: Instruct the chat participants to copy the displayed adt link text and paste it into the address bar of a browser or file explorer that recognizes the adt protocol.
Remember, these are potential workarounds, and their effectiveness might vary. It’s also important to note that any changes to Webex settings should be done carefully to avoid affecting other functionalities.
I hope my suggestion is helpful, If you want more details please tell me I am happy to help you.
