Is it possible it use a link in a SwiftUI AttributedString to navigate to another view in the same app?

Question

I know with AttributedString, I can link to an external website using something like:

Text("To learn more about AttributedString visit [this page](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/attributedstring/)")

Can I use this to go from ViewA to ViewB within the same app, kind of like this example in Twitter?

Answer 1

You can store an OpenURLAction in the environment to override how subviews like Text and Link open URLs.

This example is from the documentation:

Text("Visit [Example Company](https://www.example.com) for details.")
    .environment(\.openURL, OpenURLAction { url in
        handleURL(url) // Define this method to take appropriate action.
        return .handled
    })

You may want to apply the environment modifier at a high level of your view hierarchy (near your root view) rather than directly on each Text view.
