Is it possible to have a hyperlink on a DataView?

I just want to confirm that it is not possible to have a hyperlink on a DataView. Similar to how we can have a hyperlink on a grid.

Currently, I have a lot of ASP.NET MVC forms that show the user data in a grid. The grids have a link where the user can open up another view that has detail information. The grids also show totals. I use the Telerik/Kendo grid. It's really powerful.

I'm exploring if I can use Mongoose instead of ASP.NET MVC. My understanding is the Mongoose grids can't have totals. And my understanding is that Mongoose DataViews can't have hyperlinks. So it appears neither will satisfy my use case of needing both features.

Ideally, going forward, we will use Mongoose for new development instead of ASP.NET MVC. But it appears that Mongoose isn't going to be powerful enough. Please let me know if I'm missing something and Mongoose can be used instead of ASP.NET MVC.

Thanks for your help.

We have a dataview that contains a URL link to a PDF on our network. The hyperlink is not underlined as you would expect, instead you have to right-click and select Website from the context menu.

What I want to do is have a hyperlink that opens another Mongoose form. This form will show the detail information for the line shown on the DataView. For Mongoose grids, I have an event on a field that executes the GoTo Form.

I don't see how you tell Mongoose what options show up on the right click context menu. I don't see the same options as you do. This is what I see.

There doesn't appear to be a way to have an Event tied to the DataView.

Dataview Actions Setup form?

Thanks for the suggestion. I was able to setup an action and have it open a form.

That approach requires the user to know to right click and then select the correct option. Which is less than ideal.
