How to add hyperlinks and link text to survey questions

I want to add hyperlinks in my survey questions. The Customer Voice survey design builder doesn't offer an "insert link" function like other Microsoft products (at least I can't find it). Will you be adding a hyperlink option soon?

But I figured out kind of a backwards way to do it anyway...

I can paste my URL directly in the question and the design builder will automatically add the hyperlink. if open the survey and click on it, the webpage pops up in a new browser tab. This is fine for smaller links.

But what if I have a really long URL and I want to create a link text?

I got around this by creating the hyperlink text in MS Word and then pasting it into my survey question. This works too but when I open the survey now it opens the link in the same tab. I can click the browser back button but now all my survey questions are reset. Not good. I thought maybe it was a browser issue but I tried Chrome, Firefox and Edge and they all open the link in the same tab.

So to fix this, after pasting the link text from word into the survey designer, I right clicked the link and chose "Edit Link". Then selected the Target tab and changed to "New Window (_blank). Problem solved.
