Select the Link control on the Screen Design page to view and configure its properties using the Properties page.
Limitations of the Link control include:
On the iOS platform, you cannot return to the mobile workflow
once you switch to a different application. For example, if you click the link
to send an e-mail message, you cannot return to the previously open mobile
workflow; you must relaunch it.
On the iOS simulator, clicking the Mailto
link has no effect since there is no e-mail client on the simulator.
