Insert a hyperlink to a photo in Numbers?

How do I insert a hyperlink of a photo (located in photos) to a cell in Numbers? I have read that you can type the link into the cell, double click to the right of the link in the cell, and then edit. That doesn't seem to work for me. Please walk me through step by step on how to insert a hyperlink of a photo into a Numbers cell. Would like to just click on the hyperlink and view the photo. Is this possible? Thank you.

iMac with Retina 5K display, iOS 10.2.1

Where is your photo?

If you store it in Dropbox or another service that allows you to copy a link, then you can paste that link into a Numbers cell.

Thanks for your response. All are in "Photos" on my iMac. I think all are also in Dropbox, but not sure. Also, all are stored in Flickr. By copying and pasting the link into the Numbers cell, I then can just click on that link and view the photo that is in Dropbox or Flickr?

I tried the suggestion via Dropbox, and it worked. I copied the address and pasted in the cell. When clicking on the link, the photo is downloaded into my download folder and automatically opened in Preview. Thanks again for you help.

Numbers allows links to web pages, which will open your web browser to view whatever the link went to (or, in some case, will download the linked file). It will also allow links to "mailto:" which will open your Mail client to start an email. I am not aware of a way to link to a photo in photos or a way to view or edit a photo in Numbers. Can you post a link to what you read about this? I am curious.

I notice this thread was from a few days ago. But it was on the forum as if it was just an hour or two ago, along with the other posts from around that time. Can someone tell me why some threads show up in the forum out of order like this? This is not the first time I have replied to an older post that was near the top of the list of posts, not in correct order by date & time.

Hi Badunit,

I think a thread pops to the top whenever there is new activity, when a reply is posted or when a message is marked.
