Replacing an action in a cell with a lookup object

The sizes of cells and the layout of any text that they contan is influenced by adjacent objects such as hyperblocks. Because you can specify that a lookup object is independent of surrounding cells and objects it can be useful to specify actions in lookup objects.

See Size and Position tab.
