I hope to use the hyperlinks.add method to create a hyperlink that opens a document and then gives that just opened document focus. I have the method opening the specified document -- a word document in my case -- as expected. But I was hoping to give that document focus so user can see it without having to click on the document itself. Is there a way to do that?

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
This isn't what I was hoping for but when opening a pdf file it does get focus whereas a Word file will not get focus. So I guess I'll need to have pdfs to open.
