- If you select Key-in and enter a key-in string in the text field, the link to this key-in string is added to element. It also shows the history of all the key-in links added so far in the session.
- If you select URL, type a URL address in the text field with a prefix of http, https or mailto. The mailto prefix expects the e-mail ID.
