Hyperlink onclick override possible?

I have been researching this and the answer I keep finding is that there is no event that is triggered when a user clicks a link in an Outlook email, so VBA cannot detect it. That doesn't prove that it's impossible but I wouldn't hold my breath.

Also your strategy seems extreme--no links are allowed at all? I think a better solution to this might be good protection on the web browser, like MalwareBytes.

i came across this code on google:

Sub RemoveAllHyperlinksinanEmail()
    Dim objMail As Outlook.MailItem
    Dim objInspector As Outlook.Inspector
    Dim objDocument As Word.Document
    Dim objHyperlinks As Word.Hyperlinks
    Dim objHyperlink As Word.Hyperlink
    Dim strPrompt As String
    Dim nResponse As Integer

    Set objMail = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
 
    Set objInspector = objMail.GetInspector
    Set objDocument = objInspector.WordEditor
    Set objHyperlinks = objDocument.Hyperlinks
 
    On Error Resume Next
 
    If objHyperlinks.Count > 0 Then
       strPrompt = "Are you sure to remove all the hyperlinks in this email?"
       nResponse = MsgBox(strPrompt, vbYesNo + vbQuestion, "Remove All Hyperlinks")
       If nResponse = vbYes Then
          While objHyperlinks.Count > 0
                objHyperlinks(1).Delete
          Wend
          objMail.Save
      End If
    End If
End Sub

i get compile error: user-defined type not defined for this line:

 Dim objDocument As Word.Document

any ideas?

If you have types from the Word library you have to set a reference to Word. In the VBA editor go to Tools > References and check the box for Microsoft Word.
