I've seen a few times that folks are able to link tooltips with custom text, not just the name of whatever they're linking. What's the right way to do this?

For example, I can link to the magic missile spell, but is it possible to do so while having text other than "magic missile" appear there? If so, what do I type to do it?

Unfortunately, the text is exactly what tells the forum code what to link, so changing it will break the link and display "[Tooltip Not Found]".

Perfect, the semicolon syntax is what I haven't seen linked elsewhere. Thanks!

You can also use the link itself to make a tooltip, using your spell ID.

Unfortunately, this does not work in homebrew that you want to publish, as the filter thinks https://www.dndbeyond.com is an external link

The format is

https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/ID-tooltip?disable-webm=1
Replace ID with the number from your homebrew link
And then add bold / color to it

For example, I have a custom homebrew spell Flame Jet
URL: https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/88780-flame-jet
tool-tip: https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/88780-tooltip?disable-webm=1

How it looks: Flame Jet
It 404's when you click on it though, so its not a perfect solution

Hi All,

Reply to an old topic, but I faced the same as Houligan for some homebrew spells with homebrew monsters...
Actually if using a one line of code it is possible to have a clean tooltip and link working same as with the standard [spell] tag

Reusing above example it looks like this  (to be pasted in source code : </>  button  )

<a class="tooltip-hover spell-tooltip" href="/spells/88780-flame-jet" data-tooltip-href="//www.dndbeyond.com/spells/88780-tooltip?disable-webm=1&amp;disable-webm=1">Flame jet</a>

 renders like this (and keep expected regular format in the Monster tool tip as with the regular tags):

Flame jet

 hope this helps others.
