import mlreportgen.ppt.*

slidesFile = 'myExternalLinkPresentation.pptx';
slides = Presentation(slidesFile);

add(slides,'Title and Content');

p = Paragraph('This is a link to the ');
link = ExternalLink('https://www.mathworks.com','MathWorks site.');

append(p,link);
replace(slides,'Content',p);

close(slides);

if ispc
    winopen(slidesFile);
end

To specify default formatting for the link text, use the Style property with format objects.
