Jean-Paul, At this time, I believe the only way to do this is via code-level customizations. In your example, you will want to navigate to the SugarCRM file system and go to the following directory: ./custom/modules/Contacts/clients/base/views/list Make a backup copy of the list.php file, then edit the list.php file to add the following line to the array of your custom field: 'link' => true,
 For example, in my instance, I changed: 1 =>
 array (
 'name' => 'testlink_c',
 'label' => 'LBL_TESTLINK',
 'enabled' => true,
 'default' => true,
 ),
 to 1 =>
 array (
 'name' => 'testlink_c',
 'link' => true,
 'label' => 'LBL_TESTLINK',
 'enabled' => true,
 'default' => true,
 ),
 I then went to Admin > Repairs > Ran a Quick Repair & Rebuild. Please note that my custom field was a text field. If you do not have access to the file system, then you will need to build a module loadable customization and then upload the module package via Admin > Module Loader. Here are some package examples for reference. Hope this helps, Lori
