Action item lightning bolt

If I put text on a page (text box or typewriter) and then use the Edit Action command to make a jump to another page, it will put a lightning bolt under the bottom right corner of the text box. Is there a way to make the lightning bolt to the right of the text? I have issues when I have the text in a list format the lightning bolt is next to the wrong line.

I don't think there is any way to move it, but if you flatten the markup, the text itself will become the link, almost like a button, and the lightning bolt will no longer be visible. Not sure if that's helpful with your workflow, but I wanted to add that tip.

@DHutson, Here is a method that creates clickable links without showing the lightning bolt at all.

Instead of selecting text and applying a link, create a link box.

Press SHIFT + H, then draw a rectangle over the text you want to link. The rectangle itself becomes the clickable link.

See a short video I created belowI created below:

Thank you for the response. The issue that I have with the link box is that if the text moves the link box does not always get moved with it, and its hard to modify it being transparent. We use multiple text colors so hyperlinks that are a specific color is a good indicator.

I like the lightning bolt as it tells other users that its a hyperlink, I wish it was just at the end of the text instead of under it.

Thanks for the information, I did not realize that if you flatten it, the text became a hyperlink. I tend not to flatten my stuff but maybe I should consider doing that.

Just to build on this idea, you could group the box and text so they move together. But I think the workaround becomes more work. I can understand your wanting users to see the lightning bold, and moving to a specific location would be nice.
