I’ve got a bokeh 0.12.1 HTML output “page” that has come a long way since I first started learning how to work with Bokeh! I’m working on some final nice things to have, and one of those is the ability to make the labels on a graph URLs that the user can click. These would be categorical labels, of course.
I’ve tried using the FuncTickFormatter to create a custom object that has my labels in it and maps the tick number to the label string. However, if I put a string like “MyLabel” as the string for the label, it is literally rendered and not treated as an HTML element.
I saw an example where the TickFormatter class was extended for customer functionality, but this appeared to work only for the bokeh_server.
Is there a way to make the tick labels render as HTML anchor tags?

currently it’s impossible to achieve this, because tick labels are rendered directly to HTML canvas element, so only plain text is allowed. Unfortunately I don’t have any advice right now how to get around this. For a while now we where supposed to implement clickable tick labels, in which case you could configure a callback which would redirect to an external page. This didn’t happen yet. Maybe others will have more helpful insight.

There is now a proper Label class, and it might not be such a hard thing to make a clickable custom extension subclass. But axes don't currently use Label internally, so that would not really help if the requirement is really for axis tick labels. I think the only avenue would be to make a custom axis subclass, that also plugs into the event system, and does its own hit testing against the internal label locations. But axis is currently one of the largest and most complicated models on the BokehJS side, so I don't think this is a trivial task.
If you have JS experience and want an interesting project to dive into, we can certainly help answer questions and provide guidance. Otherwise, I can only suggest opening a feature request issue on GitHub. However the main priority for the next several months is to get to a 1.0 release so I could not make any comments about when it might possibly get looked at.
Thanks,
Bryan

I'm not sure you'd need to make an extension. If you set the
render-mode of the Label to css then you may get clickable html
out - I haven’t tried - just a thought.

Some great ideas - thanks so much! I’ll definitely take a look and report back. If I do find a way to do it that makes sense I’ll find out how to submit back to the project.
Cheers!!

No difference; I tried every level. I’m experimenting to see if I can put a tap tool on the label and use the callback to fire the URL, but no luck wiring that in so far…
