How to get the URL of another web screen?

Question

I need to create a link from one web screen to another within the same module, which is easy enough to do. What I'm stuck on, however, is getting the text of the link to be the same as the URL. This allows the user to either click on the link, or to copy and paste it into some other application

Is it possible to get the full URL of a page in the link's text without resorting to Javascript?

e.g. from Page1, I want a link to Page2 to end up as the HTML:

<a href="https://my.server/App/Page2.aspx">https://my.server/App/Page2.aspx</a>

Hi Ian,

You can create two EntryPoints and get the url Using the Action from

HTTPRequestHandler (GetEntryUrl)

Thanks for your answer, Fábio. I was able to get it to work via:

MakeAbsoluteURL(GetEntryURL("MyTargetName", GetEntryEspaceName()))

Hello all

Does anyone know if the GetEntryURL() action works in between apps?

My use case is the following:

I have Screen1 in AppA and Screen2 in AppB

in AppB I have an entry point called Home that points to Screen2

In Screen1, can I have a URL with GetEntryURL(EntryName: "Home",Module: "Module2")

Will this work?

Thanks
