class Spreadsheet::Link

The Link class. Is a Subclass of String, which lets you treat a Cell that contains a Link just as if it was a String (containing the link’s description if there is one or the url with fragment otherwise), but gives you access to the url, fragment and #target_frame if you need it.

Interesting Attributes

url: The Uniform Resource Location this Link points to.
fragment: Also called text mark: example.com/page.html#fragment
target_frame: Which frame a Link should be opened in, should also support the special frames _blank, _parent, _self and _top.
dos: Excel may store a DOS-Filename together with the long Filename introduced in VFAT. You probably will not need this, but if you do, here is where you can find it.
