Hi Group, I want to insert a variable hyper reference into a pdf document. The following method does not work for some reason. \def\hyperref{http://www.website.com/abc/def} show \hyperref Gives the correct answer but \useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text] \from[this_doc] Gives hyperef%20 as the url What am I doing wrong?

\useURL[this_doc][http://www.website.com/abc/def][][displayed text]

or \expanded{\useURL[this_doc][\hyperref][][displayed text]} if that is truly impossible for some reason.
