via hyperlink navigator page or (less accessibly) via right click hyperlink in any text field. I’ve done this successfully on several LOs.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.5pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; color:black">I think I found a bug of sorts while using the Xerte 2.17 glossary: When using terms with brackets or apostrophes, the term stops working as a hotspot – probably
because it interferes with the scripting syntax, e.g., "Home Owners' Association (HOA)". Is there a workaround for this?</span></p>

it work fine for defining the link color for external hyperlinks. Now, I would like to go a step further and add icons for links to PDF documents - ideally by parsing the file extension or otherwise by using a fake CSS class. Both approaches don't seem to
work. Has anyone tried this before? Is there a structural reason for this not to work?</span></p>
