[GNC] Links in transaction reports

I don’t understand your assertion that this would be an “incompatible change of options.” The option to remove hyperlinks is available on the Balance Sheet, but not on the Transaction Report. What about that is incompatible?

If I were going to put the option anywhere, I’d put it in the same place that the Balance Sheet puts it: on the Display tab.

FWIW, the presence of this setting on the Balance Sheet options demonstrates: a) that someone thought it useful to give the option on a GnuCash report, and b) that it’s been done before and might be done again. As a non-programmer, I thought that pointing to an existing similar feature might ease the process of implementation. It sounds as if I were wrong, and I apologize for assuming work for you.
