I am using a hyper link that I would like to pass into a shiny action button. I would like to use the "onclick" feature in the action button however, I have multiple parameters that are in my hyperlink which i am unsure how to pass into the action button.

For example here is my current hyper link in shiny that works.

a("Profile",href="https://predicting-alpha.outseta.com/widgets/profile#o-authenticated", id = "profileLink")

I would like to have a shiny button with the above link in the button (no new window opening). Here is what I was thinking but this does not seem to work. Thank you for your time.

actionButton("test", "test", onclick = "https://predicting-alpha.outseta.com/widgets/profile#o-authenticated", id = "profileLink")

Do you want your user redirected to the URL? – HubertL Mar 26 '21 at 20:05
Does [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37795760/r-shiny-add-weblink-to-actionbutton) help? – andrew_reece Mar 27 '21 at 03:32
@andrew_reece it does not. I saw that prior but that opens up a new window and does not have multiple inputs – Jordan Wrong Mar 29 '21 at 22:32
@HubertL no the link should create a pop up on the same screen – Jordan Wrong Mar 29 '21 at 22:33
