Link renderer display value

{noformat}
TS 3.3 features a link renderer and an image from URL renderer. These renderers are similar in that they allow configuration of what you see or where you end up when clicking them.
Note that:
* The link renderer only allows configuration of where you end up when clicking the link. There is no control over the displayed value.
* The Image from URL renderer only allows configuration of the value to be displayed. There is no control over where you end up when clicking the image.

It would be beneficial to let this functionality work together. The link renderer could easily allow configuration of the displayed value, and the image from URL renderer could allow configuration of where to go when clicking the image.

Note: I'm fairly certain that there exists an enhancement for the link renderer to show a custom text, rather than the value for the marker.

      "Click Here" or "Web Link" is a much needed function instead of building a dashboard for end users and them seeing "www.ideas.tibco.com".

    Table can render as URL based on data from another column

    In a Table, you are able to render the cells value as a URL and use the cells value as input for the URL. It is currently impossible to use the value from another column as the input for the URL. For example: You have a table in which you show you...

    Ability to mask (alias) the Link rendering url belonging to the table Plot

    When specifying a column as a Link Renderer, we need the ability to mask the Text or provide an Alias for the link so that we can hide the actual text from the user. User should not be able to see or copy the URL.

    Different parameter to use in the hyperlink

    When adding a hyperlink to a label, you can only label by the actual value that you want to pass into the hyperlink. It would be very useful to be able to show a different value/text (e.g. “Click here to go to website”) and then use a different pa...

    Add display text for column type "Link"

    The column type for 'Link' is handy to build a destination URL but in many cases, it is a GUID to a target system (Think SF id). This link to SF from this ID as a clunky ugly non-friendly, non-intuitive, non-descriptive result. The column name can...

    Display value instead of link when rendering a column as a link

    In a table visual you can render columns as links. This is a great feature as it makes the table interactive. However it would be nice if you could choose to show the value (with the link still enabled) in the table visual.

    Add an alias to a URL when defining a link template

    It would be great if we could set an alias for a link template when defining a link renderer. Very often we have a URL in a table, and we just want to present "Click Here", rather than a 2,000 character URL. We have tried creating calculated colum...
