SSMS results as a clickable link

Question

I am fairly new to SQL and I have looked around to see if i could find a way to do this if it is possible

Here is my SQL query text:

SELECT *, 
CONCAT('https://domain:8080/analyzer?sipid=',SIPCallId,'&cmd=GetAnswerWAV') 'FaxScope: Inbound Audio (WAV) Link',

The result:

https://domain:8080/analyzer?sipid=b38f9368905eadc713c42d5894512203898221635dac1a50e70-0084-7302&cmd=GetAnswerWAV

In the SQL Query results, I have to copy/paste the url into a web browser to get the data this link should provide.

Is this possible to have the SQL result be a clickable link itself?

Answer 1

While I'm not certain if it's possible to have the results window push through to a browser window, you can declare the result of your query to be for xml path. this will push the URL into a new session in the query window from which you should be able to ctrl+click through to the embedded SSMS browser.

declare @url varchar( 255 )

select @url = 'http://www.google.com' -- your query here

select @url for xml path

Answer 2

Yes it is possible using SSMS Boost plugin: Results Grid data Visualizers

Then you could select appropriate application(web browser) and allow for opening a new webpage.
