Edit 1: I just see that the links in the MWE do not work (they lead all to page 1). Do you have an idea why?
Edit 2: Apparently, \hyperlink{label}{text} works and \hyperref[label]{text} does not work (I updated the MWE).
- This is maybe too much to ask!
- I want to have the bars (
ganttbar) to be clickable (pgfgantt) so that a click leads to another section within abeamerdocument, e. g. like\hyperref[label]{text}(Update:\hyperlink{label}{text}). - The MWE below has clickable text but not clickable bars. The goal is that the bars (
ganttbar) are clickable and lead to the corresponding sections.
The initial syntax \hyperref[label]{text} that you tried was quite reasonable; however, for some reason, beamer seems to work better with \hyperlink{label}{text}, which is not the normal way to use \hyperlink (see here for instance).
Other than that, it is possible to make only the bars clickable by using this improvement of a clever trick from Master Jake. The idea is that we can pass hyperlink={label} to the TikZ node that represents the bar; thanks to the use of /tikz/append after command, this will place an additional node exactly on top of the bar node. This additional node contains an invisible \rule that precisely covers the bar node and is made into a hyperlink using \hyperlink{label}{...} (a LaTeX label works here because this is for beamer: see the previous paragraph).
For the screenshot below, I uncommented the \hypersetup{pdfborder={0 0 1}} at the top so that you can see in gray the extent of each hyperlink:
One could abuse the annotations from the @frougon’s fantastic answer (this will make the whole line clickable, not just the bar):
