I have registered an online document in my custom API source.

I assume that if I register the URL of the document at the time of registration, I can access the URL from the result of the searched document, but the link icon does not appear when I mouse over the document I have registered.  
Is there any setting I need to do?

Hi @its-ogawa . If your schema fields in the custom source have non-standard names (for example, the field containing the URL isn't named `url` etc), you might want to tweak [Display Settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-custom-api-sources.html#custom-api-source-result-settings). Hope that helps!

Thank you for your answer.

Hmmm.  
I have registered the value as `url` properly.  
Even with the standard settings, the URL is displayed in the search results in the place corresponding to `url`.  
Copy and paste the displayed URL into your browser to access the expected page.

I thought I could access that URL when I selected the search result, is that not correct?

Ah. I see.  
I'm sorry. I knew you were right.

You need to include the `url` in the `Visible Fields` in the Display Settings.  
That way, you can access the URL link just by selecting the search result.  
Excellent.

If possible, this feature would be nice to have as a standard feature after registering the `url`.
