I would like to be able to include the value of a custom Project Property in the URL of an href link in my template. Is this possible? For example, if I have a property named "ProductVersion", I want to include it in a link,

<a href="http://www.example.com/link?version=%ProductVersion%">

  You certainly can, almost as you illustrate, but with double %% - e.g.

  <a href="http://www.example.com/link?version=%%ProductVersion%%">

  Thanks--guess I missed that variation when I tested.

   Hi, I'm on v2016.1.107.0 and while this solution works, if the link is within a widget like the following:

  <innovasys:widget layout="block" type="Collapsible Heading">
      <innovasys:widgetproperty layout="inline" name="Heading">Test</innovasys:widgetproperty>
      <innovasys:widgetproperty layout="block" name="Content">
          <ul>
              <li><a href="%%ProjectProperty%%" target="_blank">My Project Property</a></li>
          </ul>
      </innovasys:widgetproperty>
  </innovasys:widget>

  Any change to the page in the Design view will update the link to:

  <innovasys:widget layout="block" type="Collapsible Heading">
      <innovasys:widgetproperty layout="inline" name="Heading">Test</innovasys:widgetproperty>
      <innovasys:widgetproperty layout="block" name="Content">
          <ul>
              <li><a href="%25%25ProjectProperty%25%25" target="_blank">My Project Property</a></li>
          </ul>
      </innovasys:widgetproperty>
  </innovasys:widget>

  So while I do have a workaround of my final step on any page being to correct any %25%25 items, it's pretty frustrating.
