Is it possible to select a shape in a hyperlink?

[Sam]

Hi,

I'm creating a workflow in Visio and creating lots of hyperlinks connecting
pages and shapes. One of the options Visio gives me is zoom. So I can
hyperlink a shape to another one and when the user clicks the hyperlink
he/she's taken to that page/shape and it zooms in.

I was wondering if it's possible to actually select a shape as opposed to
zooming in. I have lots of shapes on my pages and would like keep the zoom
level at 100% but select the shape to draw user's attention to it.

Is this doable?

Hi Sam,

This is a really good idea! I've added it to my feature requests board:

Hopefully Microsoft is checking this now and then.

Unfortunately, you couldn't do this without resorting to custom code.

You can use the OPC addon to do this, almost, but you can only have it
acting on one target shape per shape. You would need to use some custom
code to create the required user-cells, etc, but then you would be able to
double-click ot choose a right-mouse action or a Smart Tag o navigate from
one shape to another.
