We are trying to utilize DDX Bricks and I wrote some code in javascript to when clicked open outlook and a blank email to a specific address. I have troubleshot my code decently, but now I wonder if it's possibly Domo not allowing it?

    @Morgan I believe mega tables are the only card type that works with HTML links.

    I've also encountered this same issue when working with <a> tags in DDX Bricks (I usually just add a note at the bottom of the brick saying they'll need to right click and open in a new tab).

    I have done this with non-DDX brick cards in Domo. It will use the default email client settings on users computers so there may be issues there to resolve. Here is a beastmode that will do what you are looking for: 

    CONCAT('<a href="mailto:emailaddress?subject=emailsubject','&body=','"</a>')

    Due to security concerns, Domo only allows the HTTP, HTTPS, and MAILTO protocols. As @ColemenWilson mentioned you can use the mailto and pass in different parameters for the different email parts.

    If you could provide the beastmode, chart type you are using and what isn't working - that would be helpful. Thanks!

    I think that the issue I am running into is that the only card I can get it to work on is a table. Are there any other cards that allow the html link to be used?

    This is how the DDX I created looks and I would like to replicate that if possible. Currently, my DDX bricks card is working (ish) i just have to right click the underlined text and open in a new tab.

    As far as links are concerned you will want to use domo.navigate in custom apps https://developer.domo.com/portal/e947d87e17547-domo-js#domonavigate
