Hi,

i was just wondering if you can add a “mailto:” to line of text the same way you can add a url target to text in the properties dialogue box. Until now i have always added an invisible button over the top of such text such as "contact me " to achieve this but am wondering if ive been wasting effort. I tried adding [mailto:enquiries@apryan.com](mailto:enquiries@apryan.com) to the URL link box but as yet no luck. ANy ideas?
