Although hyperlinks worked in DeckCraft, they didn't show a "clicked" status. I tried to fix that, see below.
It's quite a simple fix and not much else is affected.

I followed the guidelines that hold for, you know, the standard presentation software.
And in the process, I found a bug in Powerpoint-for-Mac regarding clicked status. (Color remains in a clicked state after the presentation is ended and we are back in Normal view). This means that, regarding hyperlinks, DeckCraft can be better than the other program. (Sorry, I hope you get that this is a joke. It will obtain parity with what it should do but fails to do. There is even a more serious bug on the Mac on this topic that I found by testing, but that's off-topic)

Details below.

Fixes #1937

What was wrong

In a slide show, clicking a text hyperlink left it in the normal hyperlink colour. PowerPoint draws it in the theme's followed hyperlink colour (folHlink). The slot was parsed but nothing used it.

What this changes

• A text hyperlink that was clicked during a show is drawn in folHlink until the show ends.
• Links are tracked per source link, not per target. Two links to the same slide are separate, and neighbouring runs that share one link count as one link.
• The followed list lives on Show. A show starts with nothing followed, so every link is back to normal as soon as it ends.
• A click that does nothing, such as an unsafe URL that is refused, does not mark the link.
• Shape actions and mouse-over links are unchanged.

How

• FollowedLink (shape, paragraph, first run of the link) and Paragraph::link_start in the model.
• Fields::followed in the text crate; shape_para swaps the link colour for the followed one. A colour the run sets itself is kept.
• RenderOpts::followed and PlacedLink::followed in the render crate.
• The show records the click and passes the list to its renders. The frame cache key includes how many links are followed, so a returning slide is redrawn.

Tests

• followed_links_draw_in_the_followed_hyperlink_colour (render): only the followed link changes, the result equals an explicit folHlink run, a second link to the same target is independent, grouped runs change together, and another shape's key does nothing.
• link_start_groups_neighbouring_runs_with_the_same_link (model).
• a_clicked_text_link_is_followed_until_the_show_ends (ui-egui): a click marks the link, and a new show starts clean.
• The render and ui-egui tests fail without the fix. The model test covers the run grouping only.

What I ran

• The full test suites of deckcraft-model, -text, -render, -anim and -ui-egui pass.
• cargo fmt is clean, and cargo clippy --tests -D warnings is clean for those crates.
• Tried by hand in the desktop app with a test deck that has links to slides, a URL, a Next Slide action, a shape action and a mouse-over link.

What I did not run

• cargo xtask ci as a whole, including the wasm check. I'm relying on CI for that.
• The craft-fonts checkout was not present locally, so text rendering used no bundled fonts.

Known gaps (not changed here)

• Links inside table cells don't get the followed colour yet, because their layout uses a placeholder shape id.
• The presenter view's next-slide preview and the See All Slides thumbnails don't show followed links.
• A shape on a master or layout with the same id as a followed slide shape could pick up its colour, since shape ids are only unique per slide.
• Mouse-over actions never run in the show. That is a separate, older gap, to be filed separately. (Could be tricky and one could even consider that hover-actions do not belong in Presentation software as one can get confused easily in a live environment...)

In all, I would think this is a good improvement, at least for myself as user of this software.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Hyperlinks followed during a slideshow now use the presentation’s followed-link color and underline style, including links that span multiple text runs.
  • Followed-link styling is tracked separately for each link, so nearby links to the same destination remain unchanged unless they are followed themselves.
  • Followed-link history clears when a new slideshow starts.

Walkthrough

The show records clicked text hyperlinks by shape, paragraph, and link-start run. Rendering receives this state and applies the followed-hyperlink theme color to matching runs. The state is included in frame and prefetch keys and resets when a new show starts.

Changes: Followed Hyperlink Flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Identify followed text links crates/model/src/text.rs, crates/model/src/tests.rs, crates/render/src/placed.rs	The model identifies adjacent runs belonging to the same link. Placed text links now carry their shape, paragraph, and normalized link-start run. Tests cover link grouping and distinct links that share a destination.
Render followed-link styling crates/render/src/opts.rs, crates/text/src/style.rs, crates/text/src/shape.rs, crates/render/src/transition.rs, crates/render/src/tests.rs	Render options and slide fields carry followed-link identifiers. Text shaping changes matching solid hyperlink colors to the followed-hyperlink theme color. Transition rendering copies the followed-link options.
Track links during the show crates/ui-egui/src/show.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/show/media.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/show/render.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/show/tests.rs	Text-link picks retain their identifiers. The show records followed links and passes them to frame, overlay, and prefetch rendering. Cache keys include the followed-link count, and a new show starts with an empty list.

Followed hyperlinks briefly show their original colour during some slide transitions. Layout of paragraphs with many fragmented link runs does slightly more work than needed. Neither blocks the feature, and both are small fixes.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the issue number and the main change: text hyperlinks clicked during a slide show are drawn in the followed-hyperlink colour. The changeset matches this. It adds FollowedLink tracking, a followed-colour substitution in text shaping, and tests for rendering and show state. The title is specific and does not contain vague terms. It does not mention the scope limits (shape actions and mouse-over links are unchanged), but it does not need to cover every detail.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #1937 requires that a text hyperlink clicked during a presentation change to the theme's followed-hyperlink colour, and that the original colour return when the show restarts. The change set implements this. FollowedLink (shape, paragraph, first run) is added to the model, and Paragraph::link_start groups neighbouring runs that share one link. Fields::followed in the text crate makes shape_para replace the link colour with folHlink. A run colour set explicitly on the run is kept. Show.followed records a text-link click only when the jump is produced. It starts empty for each new show, so links return to normal when a show ends. The render test followed_links_draw_in_the_followed_hyperlink_colour and the ui-egui test a_clicked_text_link_is_followed_until_the_show_ends cover these behaviours, as the PR reports. The known gaps (table-cell links, presenter-view preview, See All Slides thumbnails) lie outside the slide-show behaviour in the issue. They do not make the linked requirement unmet. Evidence comes from the PR summary and the author's reported tests. The source and test diffs were not independently inspected.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Every changed area supports the followed-hyperlink objective. Model changes add FollowedLink and Paragraph::link_start. Text changes add Fields::followed, the folHlink substitution in shape.rs, and a default trait method that returns false. Render changes add RenderOpts::followed, PlacedLink::followed, and the transition copy of the option. The ui-egui changes add Show.followed, click recording, cache-key and prefetch updates, and the matching signature changes. Shape actions and mouse-over links are reported as unchanged. The added signature parameters are needed to carry followed state into rendering. No unrelated change is shown. The source diff was not independently inspected, so this rests on the summary and the PR description.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Pass followed links into transition content textures.

part_textures renders the transition's content textures with default RenderOpts, so followed is empty. A link already followed in the show is drawn in its unfollowed colour while the slide-part transition runs. The followed colour then returns when the transition ends.

Pass the show's followed links through the helper:

Suggested fix

-pub(super) fn part_textures(ctx: &egui::Context, doc: &Presentation, from: Option<usize>, to: usize, size: (u32, u32)) -> [Option<TextureHandle>; 4] {
+pub(super) fn part_textures(ctx: &egui::Context, doc: &Presentation, from: Option<usize>, to: usize, size: (u32, u32), followed: &[FollowedLink]) -> [Option<TextureHandle>; 4] {
     use deckcraft_render::SlidePart;
     let threads = if cfg!(target_arch = "wasm32") { 0 } else { std::thread::available_parallelism().map(|n| n.get().min(8) as u16).unwrap_or(0) };
-    let opts = RenderOpts { scale: size.0 as f64 / doc.slide_size.width.max(1.0), size: Some(size), threads, ..Default::default() };
+    let opts = RenderOpts { scale: size.0 as f64 / doc.slide_size.width.max(1.0), size: Some(size), threads, followed, ..Default::default() };

-                tr.parts = Some(part_textures(ctx, doc, tr.from, idx, size));
+                tr.parts = Some(part_textures(ctx, doc, tr.from, idx, size, &show.followed));

Apply the same followed argument to the morph RenderOpts in draw_transition at crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:496-497. That site has the same omission and needs its own change.

Minor · Performance & Scalability · Quick win

Avoid scanning the link prefix for every run.

For N adjacent runs of one hyperlink, these calls to link_start perform N(N-1)/2 backward comparisons. This work also occurs in editor rendering and with an empty followed list, because Rust evaluates the key before calling followed.

Track the current link-start index during the forward iteration, or precompute all start indices once. This keeps fragmented linked paragraphs linear instead of adding quadratic work to every layout.

AI-generated review (Opus). Not a maintainer decision.

Changes needed:

Tracking followed links on the show and swapping only the inherited hyperlink colour is a sound approach. The link key cannot tell slides apart, though, and a few render paths do not get the followed list.

• crates/model/src/text.rs:485: FollowedLink holds shape id, paragraph and run but no slide. Imported decks keep their file shape ids for each slide separately (crates/pptx/src/read.rs:1379), so ids like 2 or 3 repeat on every slide. Clicking a link on one slide then also recolours a link at the same shape, paragraph and run on any other slide.
• One way to fix it: store the slide index with each followed entry in Show (read it before follow_link, which changes state.slide) and pass each render only that slide's entries. Renders that draw two slides at once (morph via render_blend, slide-part transitions) need a way to tell the slides apart.
• crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:524 / crates/ui-egui/src/show/render.rs:200: part_textures renders without followed, so followed links show their normal colour during slide-part transitions. The morph render at crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:497 has the same gap.
• crates/render/src/placed.rs:149 records table cell links under the table's id, but crates/text/src/shape.rs:60 looks them up under the temporary cell shape's id (default), so links in table cells never show as followed.
• crates/text/src/shape.rs:60: link_start runs once per linked run and walks back each time. Tracking the current link start while looping over the runs keeps this linear.
• Keeping a colour the run sets itself (crates/text/src/shape.rs:16-21) and marking a link only when the click did something (crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:251-260) both look right.

Claims checked:

• contradicted: A text hyperlink clicked during a show is drawn in the followed hyperlink colour until the show ends (The frame, overlay, prefetch and old-slide renders pass show.followed (crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs frame_texture, draw_overlay, prefetch_next, draw_transition).

• contradicted: Links are tracked per source link, not per target: two links to the same slide are separate, and neighbouring runs sharing one link count as one (Within one shape this holds: Paragraph::link_start (crates/model/src/text.rs:664-671) groups adjacent runs with equal links. But FollowedLink (crates/mod…
• verified: The followed list lives on Show and a show starts with nothing followed (crates/ui-egui/src/show.rs:111 adds the followed field and crates/ui-egui/src/show.rs:274 initialises it to vec![] in Show::new.)
• verified: A click that does nothing, such as a refused unsafe URL, does not mark the link (crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:251-260 pushes only when !matches!(jump, LinkJump::None). crates/anim/src/show.rs:366 returns LinkJump::None for unsafe URLs.)
• verified: Shape actions and mouse-over links are unchanged (crates/render/src/placed.rs:125 sets followed: None for shape actions. Only the Pick::Text branch at crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:251 records a followed link.)
• verified: A colour the run sets itself is kept; only the hyperlink colour is swapped (crates/text/src/shape.rs:16-21 replaces the fill only when it equals the Hlink scheme colour, which crates/model/src/resolve.rs:375-376 applies only when the run sets no colour itself.)
• verified: The frame cache key includes how many links are followed, so a returning slide is redrawn (crates/ui-egui/src/show.rs:138 adds followed: usize to Key. It is set in begin_slide (crates/ui-egui/src/show/ui.rs:396) and start_prefetch (crates/ui-egui/src/show/render.rs:147), and compared in prefetch_…
