Linking to other documents in Pages

I'm writing complicated science documents. It would be incredibly useful if I could link from one document to other documents -- not just to websites or to bookmarks in the same document.

I'd like to click on a link that takes me, for example, to the pdf of a scientific paper; or to an email sent to me by a researcher; or to a photo.

In essence, I'd like to create a web of related items, all accessible from a single Pages doc.

I can do this in Word, but really, I hate Word. Is it possible in Pages?

Thanks,

No. Pages does not support linking to other documents. The "complicated" in your post suggests that no matter how much you hate Word, you should be using it for the 35 years of features that are in it, and avoiding productivity delays that Pages will cause with those complicated documents.

Thanks viking, you're right about the productivity delays. the sad news for me is that I'm required to deliver some of these projects as Pages ebooks, so writing in Word is going to complicate things in a different way. At least you've helped me know the limits.

When you are done with the Word document, open it in Pages and Export it to EPUB. Just ensure that you use fonts that are physically installed on macOS and accessible to Pages. You will still likely use features in Word that are unsupported by the Pages translation on opening the Word document and then translating again to EPUB. So it goes with Pages…
