Link to External Application from Interactive Report

CometFeb 25 2020 — edited Feb 25 2020

I created a page in APEX 5.1.2 with an interactive report of work orders. Two of the columns in the report are named WORK_ORDER_NUMBER and WORKORDERID.  WORK_ORDER_NUMBER is the clerical reference number and WORKORDERID is a code used by an external third-party enterprise application.  I need to create a link to the external application to allow the user to open the work order from the report.  I have a URL to the external application as follows:

http://abcprd:7090/appname/ui/appname.jsp?event=loadapp&value=wotrack&uniqueid=51780624

(I disguised the URL for security reasons but I think this all of the information you need.)  The number 51780624 is a particular uniqueid and I need to be able to select the work order # on the report and pass WORKORDERID to the URL.

I defined the interactive report WORKORDERID as Type Link.  In the link properties section I set the Target Type as URL and entered the URL above.  The Link Text property I set to one of the pencil icons since the user doesn’t need to see the workorderid?  What do I replace 51780624 with and what do I set the Link Attributes property with?  Ideally I would like to make the WORK_ORDER_NUMBER the link and hide  WORKORDERID column.  How would I define the link and how could I set the value in the URL to the WORKORDERID.
