Hi Mark,
I have managed to find how to expose the hyperlink attribute from the AutoCAD
file, but it is finicky and can end up in several different places, depending
on the origin of the .dwg file. The attribute is held in
autocad_extended_data{1}.string{}
but can be in almost any of the elements you may expose in the attribute. The
element preceding it contains an identifier string ?application_name:PE_URL"
which could be used to then grab the following element, but this seems
cumbersome. In the one example I ran the URL could end up in 5 different
locations because other software add-ons to AutoCAD also created extended data
for their own purposes.
Does anyone have any other ideas? I will forward this to support as you
suggested, though I supposed just because something difficult doesn't
necessarily mean it is a problem.

Hi Bryan,
I've not seen this before but if you can send us a sample we'll look
into it.
Send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ask them to file a PR for Ryan P.
Thanks
