Hi @MrittiYogan,

Thanks for posting!

You can do the following:

url = "https://www.streamlit.io"
st.write("check out this [link](%s)" % url)
st.markdown("check out this [link](%s)" % url)

Thanks for the response. URL works. But I need to call a python function while someone clicks the link.

Hi @MrittiYogan,

What you’re looking for is the callback function via on_change or on_click that allows you to execute a Python function upload interaction with an input widget. As you have recalled, st.button supports callback and works in your case while st.write or st.markdown does not have a callback function and would not work. At the moment, st.button seems to allow what you’re looking for.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chanin, I want to use markdown to show the text along with the link. The solution shared above by Caronline works however what I am looking for is the text must be centered.

Which function will allow me to do that?
