Hi,
When I try to get external URL of hyperlink, the string returned is the “text to display”, but the string I want is “address” of hyperlink.
This issue happen when “text to display” has prefix like “http://” or “https://”.
Here is my current code:

        using(var inputStream = new FileStream(@"D:\sample.ppt", FileMode.Open,
                                          FileAccess.Read, FileShare.ReadWrite))
        {
            Presentation presentation = new Presentation(inputStream);
            var tempSlides = new List<IBaseSlide>(presentation.Slides);

            foreach(var slide in tempSlides)
            {
                var lstHyperLink = slide.HyperlinkQueries.GetAnyHyperlinks();
                foreach(var link in lstHyperLink)
                {
                    var hyperlinkContainer = link as IHyperlinkContainer;
                    if(hyperlinkContainer.HyperlinkClick != null)
                    {
                        string hyperlink = hyperlinkContainer.HyperlinkClick.ExternalUrl;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Can you investigate this issue and give me some advice?
