hello,
riche edit text fields seem to contain links that are recognised by
NVDA, since I hear link and out of link when traversing them. How to
programatically get the link, though? object dev info doesn't show
anything useful. can I do it via text info, or is there some custom API
for riche edit text ffields?
thanks. some dev info for the rich edit follows, so yu can better
understand what I am talking about:

Hi:

The only way that I can think now is to find strings of text that
maybe reported as links in certain controls. But I believe that more
robust solutions can be provided.
For reference, in case code is useful to find out this, another
example maybe found in this pull request:

Seems ok for my case. I am trying to ghet the focused link from a
richedit, since it is an audio file and I want to play it with a
keyboard shortcut, without opening it.
In your example, I found in views.py a method to add a link to the end
of a text box... is this what you meant, or is there a method to
extract links, too?
Thanks.

I was trying to suggest you to see the code, without thinking about
something precise.
I've been playing with wx.TE_AUTO_URL style in the readonly multiline
edit box of views.py in addonStoreGui, but this seems not to be useful
to create links.
In readFeeds add-on, I use just an HTML file with JavaScript to show
links and other controls. In this way we can use browse mode to read,
andwrite HTML with known and documented procedures, in case this helps
you if you prefer not to use wx edit boxes.

Ah, I see. thanks for the help, but it doesn't work for my case. I don't
want to create new links, rather, I want to extract them from an already
created text box. can't use html as I have to work with an existing app.
Thankks anyway.

Try this: first compute textInfo t that starts on that link, then:

>>> t.NVDAObjectAtStart.value

Works in MS word for me.

You can find link like this:

1. ff = textInfo.getTextWithFields()

2. Find index of the first element in ff that has f.field['role'] ==
Role.LINK.

3. To figure out the offset of the link, find all f in ff before that
index such that isinstance(f, str) and sum up their length.

4. textInfo.collapse()

5. textInfo.move('character', offset)
