Description

a:hlinkClick is a DrawingML or SVG namespace element used to describe a specific part of a shape, text run, theme, or graphic. In the ECMA-376 DrawingML model, it participates in the XML content tree that defines visual appearance, geometry, and formatting for OOXML content.

The element is commonly encountered in presentation, document, and spreadsheet packages where shapes, charts, pictures, or text boxes are serialized as Open XML. The examples below illustrate a typical usage pattern and a corresponding Open XML SDK implementation.

Attributes

Attribute	Type	Possible Values	Description
`tooltip`	string	text	Tooltip shown on hover.
`action`	string	text	Action target.
`tgtFrame`	string	text	Target frame name.
`history`	boolean	0	1	Whether link history is maintained.
`highlightClick`	boolean	0	1	Whether click highlighting is enabled.
`endSnd`	boolean	0	1	Whether sound is played on link activation.

XML Example

<a:hlinkClick action="ppActionNavigate" tooltip="Open document"/>

using System.Xml.Linq;
XNamespace a = "http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/drawingml/2006/main";

var hlinkClick = new XElement(a + "hlinkClick",
    new XAttribute("action", "ppActionNavigate"),
    new XAttribute("tooltip", "Open document")
);

Console.WriteLine(hlinkClick);

Notes

The permitted child elements and attribute values depend on the surrounding OOXML part and the schema version in use.
In practice, DrawingML content is usually generated from higher-level shape or picture APIs rather than built manually element-by-element.
When this element appears inside a document package, it is typically linked by relationships or contained in a drawing part that is referenced from a shape or graphic object.
