Adding a hyperlink as a custom attribute
Accepted answer
The easiest way to do this is by adding a "Non-attribute based presentation" of kind "Static Rich Text" to the workitem editor. In Eclipse, if you right click in "Rich Text" text box, the context menu includes an "Insert Hyperlink..." option (see image). This can also be done in the web client. This will result in a link that opens in the current browser. To force it to open in a new browser, open the Project Area editor in Eclipse, navigate to the Process Configuration Source tab, search for the URL in your hyperlink and add
target="_blank"
inside the anchor tag. Make sure you escape the quotes.

Simply add a custom attribute of type "Medium HTML" or "Large HTML". Hyper links in such attributes are clickable (just as in the built-in "Description" and "Summary" attributes).

Thank you Donald for your prompt answer.
I want to assign a specific default link in that attribute. Is that possible?. Let me explain in more details.
I would have a label "Group Description" as the custom attribute. I want this to act as a hyperlink. When I click the label "group Description" as specific URL specified under the label should open in net browser.
Can this be achieved?
