Hyperlink appearance options
The options determine the appearance of the hyperlink or cross-reference source in the exported PDF or SWF file. These appearance options are
also displayed in the InDesign document if you choose View > Extras > Show Hyperlinks.
Choose a character style to apply to the hyperlink source. By default, InDesign applies the Hyperlink style to the selected text or
object. For text, you can easily select a different style from the Style drop-down in the New Hyperlink dialog box. For a non-text object, InDesign
applies a design time visual identifier to the links – dotted line around the object with the color inherited from layer color.
