[Qgis-user] Possibility for Labels as Hyperlinks in PDF Output?

[Keith Jenkins]

I don't think the label "HTML formatting" currently supports links.
The supported HTML is just a subset of HTML, mainly focused on visual
styles:

"""
The HTML formatting option enables the proper rendering of some HTML
tags to customize the label. The supported HTML tags are:

* Color, applicable to text, underline, strikethrough, and overline
* Font properties (font family, font size, bold and italic)
* Superscript and subscript components in text
"""
