The tool Map Tooltip can be used to display hyperlinks on features. Hyperlinks are generally photos or text that can be displayed when the cursor hangs on the relative features.

1. Create a new attribute field (string) and call it, for instance FOLDER
2. In this FOLDER field, for each feature, write the drive address or the HTML address of the files.
   This is the basic syntax:

• File path with drive:
  img src=”file:///c:/images/test.jpg”
• File path without drive:
  img src=”file://localhost/FOLDER/YY.jpg”
• Web:
  img src=”http://www.google.com/images/logo_sm.gif”

• To limit the size of images, you can include the
  height and width limits:
  < img width=276 height=110 src=”http:/XXX/YY.gif” >.
  You can use your HTML browser to open the files and copy the address (CTRL + C). Than past the address (CTRL+V) between the double quotes.

By the time that the cursor hangs over the relative feature, if Map Tooltip is enable, a window opens with the relative photo or text.
A correct size for photo or text will not be more than 600×350 in dimension

You can use as Hyperlinik documents Raster image files (JPG, PNG, TIF, etc) and HTML documents
