You could use an expression like so:

"<a href=""tel:" + GetContacts.List.Current.Contact.Telephone + """>" + GetContacts.List.Current.Contact.Description + "</a>"

Make sure to set the 'Escape Content' property to 'No'

How can I use this HTML as outsystems always shows me the property windows and i can't able to use my customise scripts, any advice?

<a href="tel:+441234567890">Call Us</a>

That should do it!

<a href="tel:+441234567890">Call Us</a>

In p10 it is not wise to injectHTML in expressions. i am trying to use an hyperlink with an external url, but it still delivers the domain and not the url i really want!
