 Hi Arshad,
is this something you are looking for?

IWorkItem workItem = (IWorkItem) auditable;
...
...
...
String pWorkItemURL = Location.namedLocation(workItem, getPublicRepositoryURL()).toAbsoluteUri().toString();

HI Anup,
Thanks for your suggestion.
I have constructed the URL. But what format should I be following to make sure that only text is visible but not link?

I mean to say like this: My link
Only "My Link" should be visible and it carries google search link. In Jira it is achieved by writing the hyperlink as [My Link|https://www.google.com]. How do we do it in rtc ?

 Hi Arshad, 


Depends on where you want to publish this link. If I were to send it in an html email, I would simply wrap this string with <a href=" ...../a>. 
Question is what are you trying to do with the link?

warm regards,
Anup Gaur

Hi Anup,

I want to add it in Summary and description field.
<a href..../> anchor tag doesn't work here.
Do you have any suggestions ?

This is an internal API implementation. 
I have no idea about it.     
:-)

but it works fine if you have the Iworkitem..

Use the search function to find the work item using its ID. In some of the UI's there is an action/context menu to copy the URI of the item. So you have the URI.

You can construct (one of the URI forms) if you have the ID. It is on my system for a work item with ID 43:

https://clm.example.com:9443/ccm/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/43

Replace the 43 at the end by your ID and make sure to replace the first part of the url (up to ccm) with the public UIR Root of your system.

If this does not answer your question, please ask a more precise question.
