Usually on windows explorer, for files like pictures or videos or audio, if the window is set on the details view, you can view other detail like date created, size, file type, date last modified... etc.

How can I run a macro where all the links that I created on excel (which pertain to photos from a specified folder) will also bring up one of these detail critera (specifically the item "Date Picture Taken").

If the link doesn't open, or doesn't contain, "Date Picture Taken", then to do something like highlight the cell, bolden the font on that cell, etc.
