Annotations: Click links and select text from annotation popover

[hwangroman]

Hello,

I'm curious if links have been already implemented in annotations?
I see that it was mentioned here: #394 (comment) , but I could not find any other information regarding it.

Thanks
Roman

No they havent :( I would love to add this. But need to tweak the tooltip lib or exchange it to make the tooltips stick so you can hover over them.

[hwangroman]

Ok, thanks for update. Will look forward for that functionality.

Finally now have much better tooltip/popover lib that can handle this scenario!

Merged to master

[mtanda]

@torkelo Can you reference the PR containing this update?

[volter]

Can you explain how the hyperlink is created?

[torkelo]

Its a simple link / anchor element in the annotation description field

[volter]

So, this is a place where HTML is interpreted then?

[torkelo]

@volter no, that is handled by the browser

[volter]

I should have said, it's not sanitized or escaped, like it was discussed for #3673.

Thank you for clarifying it!

[torkelo]

It is sanitized by grafana

I could not find the way to test link with Annotation on 3.0 beta 1 released during April

[torkelo]

?
Try having an annotation with text containing an anchor

Hello @torkelo

I don't no how to add link with Annotations in 3.0 beta during april.

What do you mean by "annotation with text containing an anchor"? Do you mean while giving name to the annotation?

Moreover when I click on the new to create a new annotation it gives me the below error.

Thanks,
Amar.

[torkelo]

do you have any data sources defined? Are any of them marked as default?

[chigurupati]

yes, I do have influxdb data sources but none are set as default.

[torkelo]

please set one as default, this is required (but not enforced in the UI / backend, which it should be)

[chigurupati]

ok thanks. I have set the default DS.

Now that the plugin error is cleared, where do I add the link in annotations?
