# Links in Answer Options

Add clickable links to your answer option labels using a simple markdown syntax.

You can add a clickable link to any answer option label using a simple markdown-style syntax:

```
[link text](https://your-url.com)
```

For example, a Legal Consent checkbox label like this:

```
I agree to the [Terms of Service](https://example.com/terms) and [Privacy Policy](https://example.com/privacy)
```

will display as "I agree to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy" with both links clickable.

No special editor is needed — just type the syntax directly into the answer option's label field on the Question edit page.

### Where it works

Links are supported in the answer labels of the following question types:

* **Multiple Choice**
* **Single Choice**
* **Binary Choice**
* **Mosaic**
* **Consent** (the Checkbox Label field — the most common use case, e.g. linking to your terms or privacy policy)

Links render everywhere these questions are shown: the on-site survey widget, public survey links, email and SMS surveys that open in the browser, the dashboard preview, and Shopify checkout and post-purchase surveys (where they render using Shopify's native link component).

### Behavior

* Links always open in a **new tab**, so the participant never loses their place in the survey.
* Clicking a link does **not** select or deselect the answer — only clicking elsewhere on the option does.
* Only `http://` and `https://` URLs are supported.

### Things to keep in mind

* The link syntax is stored as part of the answer's text. This means the raw `[link text](url)` syntax will appear anywhere the answer value is shown as plain text — for example in CSV exports and integration payloads. The link text itself is what participants see in the survey.
* Dropdown, Autocomplete, Rank, and Image Choice questions do not render links — the syntax will appear as plain text there, so we recommend only using it with the question types listed above.
* If you translate your survey, keep the `[text](url)` syntax intact in the translated label and translate only the link text.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zigpoll.com/questions/links-in-answer-options.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
