Overview

To begin, navigate to Settings → Fields → New Field to create a new field in Craft. Select Hyper as the field type.

Field settings

• Default Link Type — link type selected when a new link is created.
• Enable New Window in Header — show the “Open in New Window” header icon (or a layout lightswitch when the New Window native field is added to a link type).
• Enable Multiple Links — allow one or many links in the same field.

Multiple links

Hyper supports multiple links in a single field without Matrix or Super Table overhead. Each link is a separate row in field content with no per-link performance penalty compared to using multiple Hyper fields.

When multiple links are enabled, the field value is a LinkCollection. When disabled, the collection delegates to the first link for convenience (entry.myLinkField.url).

Link types

Enable, rename, and reorder link types per field. Element-based types let you restrict sources (sections, volumes, etc.). You can add multiple instances of the same base type — for example, separate Entry types scoped to Blog vs Testimonials.

Link type definitions, native layout fields, and attribute mapping are documented in Link Type Settings.

Link Type Defaults

For shared link types across many Hyper fields, use Link Type Configs. New fields use the Default config; choose Custom when you need a unique suite.

Link input

Add the field to an entry type (or other element) and edit an entry. The default link type shows layout fields inline. When a link type has more than one field-layout tab, those tabs appear on the block header (Content / Advanced, etc.) — the same pattern as Matrix, Neo, and Vizy. Multi-link fields support add, reorder, and delete.

Copy, cut, and paste

Each link’s ⋯ menu includes Copy, Cut, and Paste (Neo-style). Copied links live in the browser localStorage clipboard and can be pasted into another Hyper field — including on a different entry — when that field has a compatible link type enabled.

• Copy — keeps the source link
• Cut — copies then removes the source
• Paste — available on the block menu and on the Add control when the clipboard has a compatible link

Custom layout fields remap by handle. Link types match by class (FQCN). Each link also stores a durable uid in content JSON so identity survives cut/paste.
