When you create a hyperlink to open an external application, you must use
the syntax outlined in the table below. Two examples are included for each
type of hyperlink. The first example replaces the italicized variables in the
syntax with specific, static text, while the second replaces it with an attribute,
so that the hyperlink can change according to the data in your document.
