Hi,
As far as I know, you can't. So what I have done is this case is to use the Hyperlink widget and use CSS to format it so that it appears as an image.
.web-link {
color: transparent;
width: 48px;
height: 48px;
background-color: transparent;
background-size: 48px 48px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-image: url(#{$resources}/Uploaded/web_button.png);
}
Now your hyperlink will be a clickable image.
What I like about this method is that clicking on the Hyperlink will open up the default browser on the device and go to the URL specified. As it's been launched in a separate application, you can always use the devices back functionality to jump back in to the experience.
You could also use JavaScript to open the URL, but in the examples that I've seen, the web page opens inside the experience and then there's no way to get back to the AR.
Regards,
Allan
