Hi EsterB , The current PowerPoint JavaScript API only supports address and screenTip parameters for adding hyperlinks. There is no support for internal slide-to-slide hyperlinks. In COM-based APIs, this is achieved using a SubAddress parameter. Adding similar support (for example, a subAddress field) to the JS API would enable internal slide hyperlinks and be very helpful.

Hi EsterB,
With the documentation you shared, it seems that we can only load the hyperlinks that are already on the slide, but we can't create new ones—is that correct? I've tried adding a hyperlink using the Office API with JavaScript, but I haven't been able to make it work.
Thanks!
