Creating hyperlinks

[Peter Gold]

Great suggestion (Method 2), Grant!

You can take it one step further:

In a new file, create separate named text frames on body pages, one 
for each pasted link. It's not necessary to place the named flows on 
reference pages. This approach collects all the source flows in one 
file. If you keep a single master template file for a document set's 
formats and variables, this is another use for that file.
