    Hi Aldo,

    Not sure what your final purpose is but yes, you can use "skill:<skill_code>" in <a href=...> tags

    You will have to open the HTML in a custom Virtuoso GUI though...

    Here is an example:

    (defun display_form_to_open_cellview (lib cell view "ttt")
      "Display a form with a hyperlink to open LIB/CELL/VIEW"
      ;; Make sure cellview exists
      (assert (ddGetObj lib cell view)
        "%s/%s/%s is not a valid cellview" lib cell view)
      ;; Display the GUI
      (hiDisplayForm
        (hiCreateLayoutForm 'custom_form "Custom Form"
          (hiCreateFormLayout 'main_layout ?items (list
              (hiCreateHypertextField
                ?name 'html
                ?value (lsprintf "<html>
    <head>
      <style>
         body {background-color: #F0F0F0;}
      </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    <a href='skill:(deOpenCellView %N %N %N \"\" () \"r\")'>Open %s/%s/%s in Read-Only mode</a>
    </body>
    " lib cell view lib cell view)
                ))))))
    
    (display_form_to_open_cellview "TEST_LIB" "TEST_CELL" "schematic")

    Cheers,

    Aurélien
