External links?
Hi-- just wondering if anyone knows how to link out of an Inky story. Wrapping an <a> tag around the choice doesn't seem to do it-- any ideas? Many thanks!
You'll need to add some code into the game layer; I'm guessing you're using the "export to web" option so you'll need to add it to the javascript file that's exported (and then use "export story.js" option so you don't overwrite your changes!)
How you do it is up to you - you'll need to parse the output from the story somehow and turn it into a link. Good luck!

You've probably worked it out by now given that this was 2 and a half years ago, but for anyone else finding this issue:
I was able to create an external link by just including the following in the text of my story
<a href="https:\/\/www.google.com">click here</a>
It doesn't display properly in the Inky IDE, but it works fine when exported to web

Or even in a new tab to not break your flow in the story:
<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://your_url_here.html">Link</a>
